About the role

We’re looking for a calm, organised and proactive person to lead our student services and operations at Greenwich Music School.

You’ll be the key support role in a small, dynamic team—handling enquiries, scheduling lessons, coordinating student journeys, and helping improve the systems that support our work. This role blends people-facing service with behind-the-scenes structure and efficiency, all in support of high-quality, accessible music education.

You’ll be the only dedicated operations and student services team member, working closely with the co-founders (the CEO and Principal).

You’ll need to be comfortable working independently, making decisions, and managing your own workload, while staying closely aligned with our values and priorities.

It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys figuring things out, building processes from scratch, and improving how things work. You’ll need strong judgement, attention to detail, and the ability to keep calm in a changing environment. While the role involves plenty of day-to-day admin, it’s also an opportunity to shape how things work and improve them over time.

We admire the “manager of one” mindset (from 37signals)—someone who takes ownership of their work, communicates clearly, and doesn’t wait to be told what to do next.

 •  Assist with concert and event logistics (in-person if local)
 •  Act as first aider and safeguarding contact (training provided)
 

About you

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

 •  A confident generalist who enjoys juggling priorities and figuring things out
 •  Calm, clear and professional in communication, both written and verbal
 •  Comfortable with some mess, uncertainty and building-as-you-go
 •  Thoughtful about what’s worth spending time on, and what can be templated or automated
 •  Friendly, responsible and aligned with our values of creativity, positivity, quality and respect
 •  Curious and capable with new tools – not necessarily an expert, but willing to learn
 •  Able to work independently and take ownership of your work
 •  Available on Mondays, to follow up on weekend enquiries
 

Why join us?

 •  Be part of a small, forward-thinking team making a meaningful impact
