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.
