Job Role: General Administrator to the Orchestra

Posted on 28th Mar 2025 10:27:28 by Admin

The Hull Philharmonic Orchestra is seeking a dynamic and motivated individual to fill the role of General Administrator to the Orchestra.

The Hull Philharmonic has a long-distinguished history in the City of Hull and is widely acknowledged as one of the country’s premier amateur classical music ensembles.

We are looking to fill the role at the end of the current season (our concert season runs from September to May) and we would like the successful applicant to attend our last concert on Saturday May 10th and work alongside our outgoing administrator before taking over fully from September.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with arts administration experience and an interest in classical music to work in an organisation which is made up of highly motivated and friendly musicians. The successful candidate will work alongside our concerts manager, Orchestra Chair, and members of the Executive Committee to ensure the smooth day to day running of the orchestra and also be part of our future development planning.

For a more detailed description of the position please see the attached Job Specification.

This is a part-time (averaging around 5 hours per week) freelance post which would suit someone who is organised and self-motivated. Due to the way our season is structured there is the need to work flexible hours which will include some weekend working.  The current hourly rate of pay is £14.50 per hour.

The closing date for applications is noon Friday 17th April 2025. Interviews will be held for short-listed candidates on Friday 25th April (between 17.00 & 19.00).

To apply please send a current CV and supporting letter addressed to Peter Walker (Chair, Hull Philharmonic Orchestra) at [email protected]
