The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama (RWCMD) is the National Conservatoire of Wales providing pioneering performance-based training to over 800 of the most talented actors, musicians, stage technicians, scenic designers and arts managers from more than 40 countries. It is also one of Cardiff's most popular arts venues hosting over 500 public performances each year. It is based at the stunning landmark building in the heart of Cardiff, overlooking beautiful, urban parkland just a 5-minute walk to the city centre. Its reputation is built on excellence, and it attracts the very best talent.
With a distinctive and distinguished track record of 70 years in professional training in Music and Drama, including being rated top UK drama school in the Guardian League tables several times in the last few years, the College has in the last decade established itself as a major cultural institution in Wales, with outstanding premises, progressive industry partnerships, and a vibrant and admired events programme. The College nurtures the next generations of contemporary professionals, who are industry-ready for international careers.
Our reputation is built on excellence across our whole community and we support our employees to develop the highest level of talents and skills. We are an inclusive space for everyone and a community thriving on respect and celebrating difference. We are committed to creating a workforce that is representative of society. Currently, people from ethnically diverse communities, those who self-identify as disabled and neuro-diverse and transgender individuals are under-represented, so we are keen to hear from candidates from these under-represented groups.
We offer a number of employee benefits including an excellent pension scheme and operate a flexible working system.
