The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama is the National Conservatoire of Wales. It contributes to the cultural identity of Cardiff and Wales and attracts some of the most gifted students from around the world.

We provide specialist practical and performance-based training in music and drama and compete alongside an international peer group of conservatoires and specialist arts colleges for the best students globally, enabling students to enter and influence the world of music, theatre, and related professions.

We are seeking a well-organized and flexible individual to provide effective administrative and organisational support for Young RWCMD (Music) courses and community activity, playing a key role in ensuring a safe, welcoming and high-quality learning environment for young musicians and an efficient service for families, tutors and external partners. The department currently caters for approximately 200 children and young people each week, as well as approximately 30 community learners. The successful candidate will be an experienced person with strong organisational and administrative skills and a commitment to supporting the wellbeing and education of children and young people.  

The post holder will work on Saturdays during term time and be a key point of contact for children, young people, adult learners, tutors and families.  They will have an eye for detail, effective communication and interpersonal skills and enjoy working within a busy performing arts environment.

This is a full-time permanent post.  The work pattern of this post would be Tuesday to Saturday during Young RWCMD (Music) term time and Monday to Friday out of term time.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We are committed to creating a workforce that is representative of society. Currently, people from ethnically diverse communities, those who self-identify as disabled, neurodiverse, transgender, and Welsh speaking individuals are under-represented, so we are keen to hear from candidates from these under-represented groups.

We offer several employee benefits including an excellent pension scheme and operate a flexible working system. Discover the advantages of working with us.

If you are a successful candidate and this position will be your first professional services role at the University (or you are currently employed by PSS Ltd), you will be employed by Professional and Support Services Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of South Wales, which provides services to the University and Colleges. If you are an internal professional services candidate, from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, you will continue to be employed by the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
