JOB LISTINGS

Timetabling & Operations Assistant

  • £25,000-£26,000 per annum
  • Full-time. Permanent
  • Based at Italia Conti, Victoria Place, Woking

Have you ever thought of a career in administration in the arts or education, supporting everything that goes in to the smooth-running an organisation?

Would you relish the opportunity to join our small, friendly operations team, helping to provide the administrative support that underpins our courses in acting, dance and musical theatre with a particular focus on timetabling and scheduling?

It can be a hugely rewarding career pathway if you have a keen eye for detail and would enjoy having the opportunity to gain a good general oversight of everything that’s involved in the delivery of courses and programmes that a small to mid-sized provider of performing arts training can uniquely offer.

A particular focus of this post will be supporting our Timetabling & Scheduling Manager with timetabling and scheduling across the institution. Beyond this, there is the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of the work of our Operations Team. It’s a busy and thoroughgoing role where no two days are ever the same – and an exciting time to join us at our brand-new campus in Woking.

Ideally you’ll have a good undergraduate degree/diploma in a relevant discipline or a thorough understanding and awareness of all of the underpinning administration needed to ensure the smooth-running of a business gained through experience. What will really mark you out as a strong candidate will be your proactive approach and excellent organisational and administrative skills. And naturally, you’ll love what we do, be willing to get stuck in as part of a small, friendly team and be an all-round communicator – articulate, open, collaborative and a pleasure to work with.

If it sounds like a challenge that would inspire you we would love to hear from you.

Our classes run from 8.00am-8.15pm, Monday to Saturday during term-time, and the Operations Team provide cover throughout the week. The 37.5 hours-per-week for this full-time post would be spread across our opening hours from Monday to Friday when classes are in session. This typically includes 2 later evenings with a start time of 12noon and a finish time of 8.30pm. There is the potential to offer some flexibility which may suit those balancing work and childcare or caring commitments or simply seeking an alternative working pattern.

  • “I have just graduated from Liverpool Theatre School with a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre. I wanted to do the BA Hons (Top Up) in Professional Arts Practice course to further develop my skills for the industry. It is the perfect balance between academic writing and creativity. I already have seen improvements, both in my academic and performing work, and I now really value the ability to critically reflect on past experiences in order to improve my current skills.”

    - Sarah Collinge – Musical Theatre Performer Current Student, Class of July 2024
  • “I have found that my first term at Italia Conti has been better than I could’ve imagined. I am working with driven, passionate, likeminded people within all different realms of the performing arts industry. I find that the course is very tailored to each individual and the content is broad enough to apply to everyone but specific enough to challenge each person within their abilities. I find the course to be a place where I can collaborate and interact with people who I’d never had met otherwise. I only look forward to what the next few months of the course bring and feel more motivated than ever.”

    “The course is allowing me to reflect on my past practice, current position, and future endeavours. I really enjoy how flexible the course is, with regards to being able to tailor my studies to my own practice, enabling me to maximise the benefits of this on my future career. I expect my professional development to be impacted exponentially and I am excited to continue!”

  • “Italia Conti’s BA Top up course was the one for me! Creating a business in under 9 months has been a massive accomplishment! The course really helps shape your future, enables you to meet professional contacts to support your research, and gives you lots of time to understand the area of the industry you want to specialise in.”

  • I’m a dancer in LA and can’t keep up with my peers on how often they take dance classes. This channel has been so helpful for me to keep up my training. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I feel like we are all dancing together even though we are all doing this at different times and in different spaces. 🖤
