Part time; 24 hours per week (3 days)

Based in: Covent Garden, London

£18,000 per annum (£30,000 per annum FTE)

The Royal Opera House continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. None of this would be possible without the exceptional team of people who work here. People are centre stage of everything we do at ROH, and our Human Resources department work across the organisation, ensuring that in every department we have to right people in place who are supported to deliver their work to their fullest capacity.

Our Apprenticeships and Work Experience Team are central to the pipeline of future talent at ROH, opening up careers in the arts to a diverse audience. With both technical/craft opportunities alongside traditional `back office` occupations, the team work extensively with community partners to advocate for apprenticeships and vocational career pathways.

We are now seeking a proactive, organised and enthusiastic Apprenticeships and Work Experience Officer to join the team, and ensure our EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) objectives are at the heart of both schemes. This role closely supports the Apprenticeships and Work Experience Manager in the administration and delivery of both programmes, taking a lead on Work Experience process and the delivery of placements across the organisation.

This role requires someone who is committed to widening access and inclusion in the arts and has the right approach to work with those at the start of their careers, providing them with effective guidance and pastoral care.

Our ideal candidate will have:

• Some experience of supporting young people in the early stages of their careers
• The ability to work effectively with a wide range of people (both internal stakeholders and external partners)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to build relationships and rapport at all levels.
• Strong numeracy skills with demonstrable experience building trackers in Excel and ensuring payments are processed accurately and in a timely manner.
• Ability to prioritise own workload and to work unsupervised, with honed time management skills and the ability to meet deadlines working in a part time capacity.
• A commitment to proactively promoting diversity and inclusion

An understanding of the back-stage work of a theatre and/or interest in and enthusiasm for the Arts are not essential but will be highly regarded.

The Royal Opera House is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive. We particularly welcome applications from those who are from a global majority background and/or those who are disabled, as they are under-represented within our organisation. As a Disability Confident Employer, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the essential minimum criteria for our vacancies.
