Music jobs in United Kingdom

Our client, a high-profile music artist, requires an experienced and energetic PA to provide first class support across their private, social and business calendars as well as managing their day to day personal and professional needs.

This is not a 9am to 5pm position and absolute flexibility and commitment is key. Candidates must be willing and able to commit completely to the role and be available to spend extensive periods of time travelling and on tour, sometimes at short notice.

A calm and unflappable manner is crucial - plans will change at the last minute and taking this in your stride and coming up with a plan B will be needed on a regular basis. You must have excellent communication and prioritisation skills and be able to maintain a high level of confidentiality.

The successful candidate will ideally have a background in the music industry or having supported talent at a similar level and experience with fashion, styling and wardrobe management would be a huge plus!
