Job description
The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama is looking for an enthusiastic Administrative Assistant to join the Production Department in the role of Administrative Assistant (Production).
The successful applicant will possess evidence of a good education, ideally with a background or interest in production arts, be computer literate and have excellent communication skills. A commitment to a high level of customer care is essential, along with a sound knowledge of general office procedures including the use of e-mail and the Microsoft Office package. The post holder will be responsible for the administrative tasks in a range of production-related areas, including scheduling, budgeting, logistics, health and safety, accessibility, and sustainability in performance. An efficient, courteous and pleasant manner is essential, along with the ability to prioritise your workload and adhere to set deadlines.
The Administrative Assistant (Production) role forms a vital interface and point of liaison within all departments, students, and a wide range of full-time and part-time staff as well as members of the public.
The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama (RWCMD) provides pioneering performance-based training to over 800 of the most talented actors, musicians, stage technicians, scenic designers, and arts managers from more than 40 countries. It is also one of Cardiff's most prolific and popular arts venues attracting audiences of over 60,000 each year.
With a distinctive and distinguished track record of 75 years in professional training in Music and Drama, including being rated top UK drama school in the Guardian League tables on several occasions, the College has in the last decade established itself as a major cultural institution in Wales, with outstanding premises, pioneering industry partnerships, and a vibrant events programme. The College nurtures the next generations of contemporary professionals, who are industry-ready for international careers.
We offer a number of employee benefits including an excellent pension scheme and generous annual leave. Discover the advantages of working with us.
We are committed to creating a workforce that is representative of society. Currently, people from ethnically diverse communities, those who self-identify as disabled, neurodiverse and transgender, and Welsh-speaking individuals are under-represented, so we are keen to hear from candidates from these under-represented groups. The College is committed to its Welsh Language and Culture Strategy and will offer support and training for the successful candidate to learn Welsh.
If you are a successful candidate and this position will be your first professional services role at the College, you will be employed by Professional and Support Services Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of South Wales, which provides services to the University and College. If you are an internal professional services candidate from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, you will continue to be employed by the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
