Operations&Events Administrator Mat Cover: 9 months (0.8 FTE/28.8 hours) (£23,317 pro rata inc OLA

A vacancy has arisen for an Administrator (as maternity cover) to join Richmond Music Trust, a well-established, successful and expanding provider of music education opportunities for children and young people. This is an excellent opportunity to work within a successful organisation with this post suiting a hardworking and ambitious individual, perhaps a recent graduate.

As Operations & Events Administrator you will assist the Chief Executive in the delivery of RMT’s day to day operations. Main duties include scheduling and support for our 80 instrumental teachers, dealing with enquiries from parents, teachers and schools, and assisting with the invoicing process. Supporting administration across several departments is a key part of the role. The role also involves supporting the organisation and administration of our large scale events including working closely with the Development Manager (Vocal) on RMT singing events.

The successful candidate will be highly literate and numerate with IT skills that include a working knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, along with a confident phone manner are essential, as is the ability to work with initiative and take on responsibility where appropriate.

A registered charity since 1994 and incorporated in 2001, RMT provides instrumental tuition in schools to over 5000 students each week, running weekly orchestras and bands for all abilities at our music centres. Regular large-scale events and collaborative projects are integral to our work. Our flourishing Music Therapy department provides services to over 200 children and adults across South West London every week.

This role requires a limited amount of contact with children and young people and the successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check. We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
