Learning and Participation Manager
Sinfonia Smith Square 30,000 pro rata Closing date 03 December 2024
Through a wide range of performances in many styles, Sinfonia Smith Square gives its players the opportunity to build their repertory and stamina. Complementing this, projects and activities each week of the programme enable them to develop a host of professional skills that will aid their progress as they set out to establish their careers.
The Learning and Participation Manager will work closely with the Orchestra Team and players and will be responsible for strategically developing our Learning and Participation work with schools and the local community. We are undertaking a refurbishment project to Smith Square Hall in 2027/28 and during this time the orchestra will be located in a local school as an orchestra in residence. It is important that we learn from this residency and grow our schools and community engagement so we develop vibrant and engaging community activities once back in the venue. This role will suit someone wanting to take the next step in their career and committed to our values of nurturing talent and trailblazing.
The Learning and Participation Manager will work alongside our Programme Manager and Orchestra and Projects Manager and reports to the Programme Director. They will also work closely with the venue staff, volunteers and other members of the staff team.
The post holder has the opportunity to play a central role in enabling a forward-facing young arts organisation to thrive. They can develop a wide range of skills, have a key voice in how the players develop their careers and take pride in helping young musicians to fulfil their potential through a distinctive array of outstanding family concerts and schools engagement programmes.
