London Symphony Orchestra

Concerts & recordings assistant

We are looking for a new member of our Improbable team, a facilitation and Open Space programme lead. Apply if you're excited about our company and the work we do!
We’re at an exciting moment in the company’s story, we’re making shows like My Neighbour Totoro with the RSC and An Improbable Musical which is touring this Autumn. We’re running Devoted and Disgruntled, starting new programmes of work like Improbable for Business and importantly following clues for The Gathering, our search for a home. 
This role has some tasks associated with it like managing and facilitating our annual Devoted &amp; Disgruntled event series, and developing Open Space conversations with organisations inside and outside of the performing arts sector. 
However we are looking for someone who feels deeply passionately about the power of Open Space and improvisation to bring people together, to spark conversation and challenge. Someone who enjoys the irregular and responsive nature of working in a small, pretty fast paced and busy team, someone who is plugged into the challenges facing our sector and our world and who has the entrepreneurial spirit to seek out ways to address these challenges. On any given week you might be liaising with a renowned theatre company to produce a series of Open Space events connected to one of our on-stage works, be travelling across the country to deliver an Open Space conversation for a health charity, chatting to leading arts industry figures about the key issues facing our sector and exploring ways to address those in the next Devoted &amp; Disgruntled.
What the job spec doesn’t tell you about is the spirit of the company, so we have also written a Spirit Ad. Not to list the spirit needed by the person in the role because the specific thing about spirit is that it does not belong to anyone. It exists between people. An understanding of this is at the heart of the company's practice, that the brilliance of the work, be that an Opera, an Impro, or an Open Space event, does not lie in any one person's singular stellar performance, but in the atmosphere between the players, amongst the audience - between all the participants, it emerges. Much like in a poem, the meaning unfolds from the combination of the words and their particular clustering, their constellation. 
We care as much about finding someone who is excited about the company, the work and the spirit as we do about the experience and skills you bring. 
People from diverse backgrounds, in every sense of the word, are encouraged to approach us. Unlikely, implausible and improbable applicants, are, by definition, extremely welcome. 
 
Job specification
We are looking for a collaborator to join our team. Below you will find some specifics about the job. Just as important is finding someone who is excited about the work and spirit of the company, so read our Spirit Ad too. 
We are purposefully keeping this job specification as light as possible to encourage people from as broad a range of backgrounds as possible to apply. You might have worked in theatre before, you might not. You might have a degree, A levels, GCSEs etc, you might not. 
We do not expect you to have experience in all of the things that this job will entail and we will offer any training needed to the person who joins us.
