Deadline
14 October 2024

The Shaftesbury Theatre has redefined its purpose and function as part of its Dramatic Transformation Programme.  Now, the 1911 Stalls bar, Bertie Crewe Royal Circle bar, Melville Grand Circle bar and two hospitality spaces, the Taffner and the Ray Cooney all serve our customers enjoying the 1,350-seat auditorium.  These wonderful facilities not only cater to our main productions at evening and matinee performances but are also used for conferences, meetings, and events marketed, coordinated, and hosted by our Events and Sales Team.

The post holder will assist the Head of Events and Sales in securing and coordinating all events at the Shaftesbury Theatre. They will liaise closely with both the Bars and Hospitality and House Management departments and on occasion the technical departments, to service a wide range of conferences, meetings and events outside of show performance hours. The postholder reports to the Head of Events and Sales and, as appropriate, the Heads of both Bars and Hospitality and House Management.  In addition, from time to time, they will be expected to make reports to the Chief Executive, Operations Director and Financial Director. Their line manager will be the Head of Events and Sales.

The Assistant will require excellent administration, analytical and communication skills to ensure that from first contact through to the end of the event the client receives an exceptional quality of service and that all departments working on each event within the Theatre are correctly informed and understand the client’s needs. The post holder will need to work well under pressure and, when required, independently.
