Job description

Shakespeare’s Globe is currently seeking a Senior Education Producing Coordinator on permanent full-time basis.

We are committed to improving diversity and inclusion across our organisation. Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and the Global Majority are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single specification. If you’re excited about the role but your experience or qualifications don’t perfectly align, we encourage you to apply anyway. We particularly encourage applications from underrepresented groups such as the global majority, LGBTQA+, those from a working-class background, those with a disability and neurodiverse conditions.

About the role:

This role coordinates Education activities year-round on-site and elsewhere, effectively planning staffing, freelance support and resources, whilst providing wider operational support for the Education department, in particular our Research and Collections team.

The Education Producing team share responsibility for programming public-facing Education activity, alongside organisation-wide space bookings. The Senior Education Producing Coordinator works collaboratively alongside Theatre, Development, and Visitor and Audience Operations teams to plan the effective use of rehearsal and workshop rooms, theatre spaces and public areas, creating and updating Artifax bookings, planning future usage, training others, and responding proactively to issues.

This role also supports the Education Producing Manager and Head of Education Producing in the leading of meetings, events, hires, courses, rehearsals and selected productions, alongside practical support and event management.

The skills:

• Experience in planning, coordinating and delivering public-facing events and private hires, with a focus on educational, theatrical and literary activities, engaging a breadth of audiences and participants.
• Keen attention to detail, with strong and effective administration and organisational skills, including when working to strict deadlines.
• A strong and effective communicator, able to present and interpret information in a variety of formats, with an ability to ensure stakeholders are consistently updated in a fast-paced environment.
• A keen ability to welcome individuals, audiences and participants, with a proven record of planning for and working with a range of young people and adults with differing needs.
• An enthusiastic team worker, with demonstrable ability to work collaboratively with a wide range of people at all levels, both within and outside an organisation.
• A professional approach with the ability to plan and prioritise a varied workload whilst responding to changing situations.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, with the ability to plan and organise data, create detailed schedules and produce planning documentation using a range of software including Excel.
• A clear understanding of space management priorities and challenges within a large organisation, and prior experience with systems such as Artifax.
• A willingness to learn and develop skills including mentorship, and an open approach to ideas-sharing and consideration of other views.
• Experience of working with and reporting from customer relationship management or ticketing systems, in particular Tessitura.
• An understanding of financial processes, including invoices and expenses management.
• Sound understanding of contractual agreements, health and safety considerations and varied access considerations in public-facing activities and spaces.

Shakespeare’s Globe:

We are an independent charity and commercial operator, reborn with fresh fire in the wake of the pandemic - re-energised, re-inspired, and ready to meet the future head-on. Unlike many in our field, we work without public subsidy, without regular support from Arts Council England. Instead, we stand on our own forging surpluses through our own creativity and courage, pouring every surplus back into the lifeblood of The Shakespeare’s Globe Trust, our registered educational and artistic charity.

Artistic productions are our beating heart - the pulse that keeps the Globe alive. Every year, more than 750,000 visitors cross our threshold on Bankside, drawn to over 600 performances, Guided Tours, schools workshops and events across 363 days. From dawn until long past dusk, especially for our popular Midnight Matinees, our stages ring with laughter, tears, and the timeless power of words.

• Discount in the Globe shop and onsite restaurants/cafes
• Staff discounts via My Globe perks and better Bankside Buzzcard
• Free entry to selected shows, events and activities
• Access to our free employee assistance programme and 24/7 virtual GP service
• Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, and shared parental leave and pay
• Season ticket loans
• Cycle to work scheme
• Enhanced employer pension contributions after 12 months service.
