Administration Officer

The London Sinfonietta is one of the world's leading contemporary music ensembles. We seek to reach as many people as possible with the inspiring sound of new music. We produce world-class new music projects & performances that engage with today's society, involving and inspiring the lives of individuals, audiences, communities and artists.

We are now seeking a Administration Officer to support the London Sinfonietta's operational administration, ensuring that systems and processes for office management, finance, governance and compliance areas are efficiently maintained. The role also supports the Chief Executive in their work across concerts, recording and commissioning with some diary and meetings management. The position is key to ensuring good communication throughout the team and with external stakeholders. On occasion the role may be required to help out in other areas of the organisation, such as assisting the events teams backstage or front of house at our concerts or projects.

The role is a 21-hour, 3 day a week role, however we can be flexible in the pattern of hours/days worked, subject to consideration of the working patterns of other team members to ensure cover is maintained.

Because the role entails carrying out responsibilities on site, the working pattern will require the post-holder to be present at least 2 days a week in the office at Theatro Technis (Camden) with the 3rd day worked either from home or in the office.

The successful candidate will be flexible and well-organised, with meticulous attention to detail, able to field internal and external queries in a professional and timely manner, which may on occasion include working with confidential information.

You'll already have gained office administrative experience working in an arts or charity environment. Ideally you will also have gained some understanding of and a working knowledge in any of the areas of HR, Health & Safety, charity governance, data protection or compliance, and an understanding of classical music or the orchestral sector would be a bonus. You will be used to working independently as well as within a small team and be comfortable with being able to juggle shifting priorities, willing to turn their hand to various tasks as they crop up as well as get stuck into longer-term projects for the organisation.
