The Royal Academy of Music is a stimulating and friendly environment with a diverse mix of students and staff from over 50 countries. Based in central London, we have been training musicians to the highest professional standards since 1822. Many of the world’s leading musicians and performers studied with us and we are firmly focussed on developing tomorrow’s musical leaders in a number of disciplines including classical, jazz, and musical theatre.

The Central Administration and Admissions Assistant is one of two Central Administration Assistants within the Registry. The purpose of the role is two-fold: one element of the role is to support the daily running of Central Administration services through effective administrative, operational support and excellent customer service to a range of stakeholders from current students and members of staff to external visitors and prospective applicants. The other is to provide administrative support to the Admissions Team in all elements of admissions, including the organisation and administration of auditions, enrolment, and graduation.

To be successful in this role, you will be able to prioritise and manage a varied and diverse workload, to problem-solve quickly and effectively, to remain calm whilst working under pressure in a demanding environment, have excellent written and oral communication skills, IT skills and have experience working in a busy and challenging administrative role. A working knowledge of classical and jazz music, in particular instruments and ensemble types, is also essential.

The role will be hybrid working with some days onsite and some days working from home.
