Education Administrator (Part-time - 3 days)

Halle Concerts Society £13,500 p.a. (£22,500 FTE) Closing date 02 December 2024
We are seeking to appoint an Education Administrator to join our Hallé Connect Team. The Education Administrator reports to the Education and Outreach Manager of the Hallé Concerts Society and is responsible for the day-to-day practical administration of Hallé Connect activities, and in particular our work with schools. This role requires an efficient and organised administrator with a passion for bringing music into the daily lives of children and young people.

The Education and Outreach team sits within the Hallé Connect team. Hallé Connect covers all of the Hallé’s work away from the formal concert platform, working across the whole community from schools to care homes, nurturing young talent and bringing music in its broadest terms to those who may not
attend the concert hall. Hallé musicians work in various settings across Greater Manchester and beyond, releasing creativity and raising aspirations through very accessible and practical projects.

The post is part-time (60%) permanent based on a 36.25-hour full-time week. Our core office hours are 09.00-17:15, from Monday to Friday and the post will require a degree of flexibility to working unusual hours to facilitate activities, including weekly rehearsals on Wednesday evenings and some evening / weekend work. There is an option to work up to 50% of hours from home.

The Hallé takes equality, diversity and inclusion very seriously and welcomes applications from everyone. But simply having a diverse workforce is not enough. We want to build an inclusive environment, where everyone can develop to their full potential. We celebrate our differences, and recognise the importance of teams reflecting the activities and communities they serve.

We operate an Equal Opportunities Recruitment Policy and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We would particularly welcome applications from applicants who identify as disabled, D/deaf, and/or neurodivergent who can bring their own lived experience to this role. The Hallé will provide support to ensure that you feel comfortable stepping into the organisation, the type of which may be new or unfamiliar to you, so that you can feel your best self at work. Mentoring or training will be provided during the induction period, if required.

The post holder must be able to satisfy a Disclosure and Barring Service check for working with children, young people and vulnerable adults.
