About The Job

is looking to fill this vacancy 07/05/08

The Sub-Principal Flute will work 100% of the Orchestra’s schedule with the exception of the following number of sessions which the player can request to be released:

1st Quarter 18
2nd Quarter 12
3rd Quarter 18
4th Quarter 18
It may be that you are not required for some programmes because of orchestration, and these sessions would count as part of your release allowance for the Quarter.

All members of the Orchestra receive 5 weeks leave per year. Three of these weeks are fixed within the orchestral schedule, and the remaining 2 weeks may be taken as flexible leave by agreement with the Orchestra Management. There are no ‘normal’ hours of work and you will be expected to be available to work on an agreed schedule any day of the week and to travel both within the United Kingdom and abroad.

Whilst this position does not require you to work exclusively for the Symphony Orchestra, it is expected that the Orchestra will have first-call on your availability. In common with policy regarding leave, any time off must be agreed in advance by the management and is subject to scheduling requirements.
