The Royal College of Music is one of the world’s great conservatoires, training gifted musicians from all over the world for international careers as performers, conductors and composers. We were ranked top global institution for performing arts in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2022.

The Governance Services Manager & Clerk to the Council supports the College’s governance, is secretary to the trustees of the RCM’s legacy pension scheme, manages and administers the College’s student complaints and disciplinary processes, manages the College’s fellowship schemes and manages the College’s processes for the appointment of personal chairs and readerships.

Working closely with the RCM’s Deputy Director, the governance role supports the Council and its committees, including in providing advice on governance best practice, dealing with often highly sensitive and confidential matters.

These roles require a high level of judgement, diplomacy and tact, initiative and a wide range of professional knowledge, skills and experience. They require a high degree of autonomous decision-making and action and involve extensive liaison both internally across departments and externally. Particularly in relation to managing and administering student complaints and disciplinary processes, the postholder will need to exercise compassion, tact and sensitivity.
