Production Coordinator

Every year the finest musicians head to the serene Lake District for a summer festival and spring series like no other. From string quartets to jazz and baroque specialists to world music, there’s an incredible selection to choose from with concerts, walks, talks, art and events for the whole family.

After 4 years of growth, we are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and versatile Production Coordinator as we set our sights on an even-more ambitious new long-term strategy to reach more of our local communities.

THE ROLE
This is a key role at the centre of LDM, working directly with the Executive Director to plan and organise Lake District Music’s annual calendar of events. You will take a lead on critical logistics, often acting as the first port of call with suppliers, partners and artists, as well as being a senior member of the summer events team. As we look to expand our outreach with local schools in particular, you will be a central player supporting our visiting education team behind the scenes and helping to inspire Cumbria’s youngest generation.

We have big plans for the future, and while the role is currently parttime, there is an incredible opportunity for the right candidate to make their mark and develop into a fulltime position.

If you are a self-starter, multi-skilled with prior experience in the arts or events world, then we would love to hear from you.

THE CANDIDATE
If you:
– love the great outdoors (the local Lake District scenery is amazing)
– are amazing at solving problems
– have experience of organising performances or education events
– love working with collaborators and are a welcoming and approachable point of contact for donors and volunteers alike
– are passionate about classical music and the arts
…then this is the job for you and we would love to hear from you!
