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, pioneering industry partnerships, and a vibrant events programme. The College nurtures the next generations of contemporary professionals, who are industry-ready for international careers.
Our reputation is built on excellence by supporting 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 neurodiverse and transgender individuals are under-represented, so we are keen to hear from candidates from these under-represented groups.
We are looking for an exceptional candidate to provide a comprehensive and Human Resource (“HR”) service to the College, including providing advice and support to Managers and Colleagues and undertake a range of transactional HR and working closely with payroll. In this role attention to detail is a must, as is multitasking, so if you are organised and detail orientated, with the ability to effectively manage your time, have a professional attitude, possess good analytical skills and are a team player, you are who we are looking for.
We offer a number of employee benefits including an excellent pension scheme, a minimum of 22 days annual leave (plus bank holidays) and operate a flexible working system. Most of our professional services and administration employees are now following an agile working pattern – working at home for some of the time and in College for the rest of the time.
