Administrator
This is a varied and relationship-centred role at the heart of how Candoco operates.
You will provide direct executive support to the Executive Director, helping to manage information flow, prioritise correspondence and ensure nothing falls through the net during a busy and ambitious period of organisational transformation.
Alongside that direct support, you will keep the organisation running smoothly: managing the office, maintaining systems and filing, supporting financial administration alongside our external accountants FreshEyes Finance, and taking on research and project support tasks as they arise.
We are looking for someone who is organised, proactive, and discreet. Good administration means anticipating needs, building efficient systems, and making sure the people around you have what they need to do their best work. We need someone who is
adaptable and calm under pressure, equally happy getting into the details and stepping back to see what needs doing next.
This role offers a genuine opportunity to shape how Candoco operates as we move from the ensemble company of old to a new model of a producing dance company.
How to apply
To apply, we’d like you to answer the following questions:
1. Organisation and information management
Tell us about a time you have managed a busy inbox, correspondence, or information flow on behalf of someone else. How did you make sure nothing was missed, and how did you decide what needed urgent attention?
2. Finance and systems
Describe a time you have maintained a tracker, database, or financial record on behalf of a team or organisation. How did you keep it accurate and useful, and what would you do differently in hindsight?
3. Adaptability and variety
This role spans executive support, finance administration, office management, and research projects sometimes all in the same week. Tell us about a role or period of work where you had to hold several very different responsibilities at once. How did you manage your time and priorities, and what did you learn about how you work best?
4. Understanding of Candoco’s mission
Candoco exists to expand what dance can be, who makes it, and who experiences it. Why does this role, in this organisation, appeal to you and what would you bring to a team working toward that mission?
