Assistant Duty Manager

Background

St Martin-in-the-Fields (St Martin’s) is a remarkable place to work. Located in the heart of London on Trafalgar Square, we are a place for everyone, everywhere, every day – to worship, reflect, relax, meet, eat and drink, enjoy the arts, and much more. The church is a 300-year-old architectural jewel. We have iconic spaces that attract hundreds of thousands of people to our site each year.

Among the 450+ events we put on every year, St Martin’s is particularly well known for its musical tradition both in our regular church services and in our exciting concerts programme. Outstanding music and artists enrich the cultural life at St Martin’s. With regular performances from internationally renowned musicians, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We regularly work with some of the most sought-after ensembles including Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra, Gesualdo Six, The Sixteen, BBC Singers, and more.

Nature and scope of the job

The Assistant Duty Manager works directly with the Duty Manager on ensuring the smooth delivery of our cultural events programme throughout the week including a variety of concerts in the church and various acts who perform in the Crypt space.

The successful candidate will liaise with a wide range of stakeholders including colleagues across the site, from the Box Office to the Church Operations team, as well as supporting the Duty Manager in communicating with and supervising external contractors when they are on site. Along with our team of Concert Ushers, you will be responsible for delivering concerts safely and efficiently, with a particular focus on visitor experience.

Currently, live evening performances usually occur on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, so availability on these evenings is essential. Timings of events are generally from 7pm to 10pm, although each event is unique.

This role is offered on a part-time basis, with a minimum of 15 hours per week at a rate of £14.55 per hour.
