Scottish Opera seeks a receptionist to work at the heart of Scotland’s largest performing arts organisation.

The person we are looking for is a good communicator, is well organised and enthusiastic. The successful candidate will ensure that all telephone calls and enquiries are dealt with quickly and efficiently and, as the first point of contact for company members, visitors and members of the public will interact with people courteously and politely.

Full training will be provided. General administrative duties are also required so candidates must be computer literate.

The role is based in both of our Glasgow city centre locations at Elmbank Crescent and Edington Street. Successful candidate will be required to travel between both buildings.

At Scottish Opera, our mission is to speak powerfully through all our work in order to entertain, inspire, surprise, challenge and delight audiences throughout Scotland, the rest of the UK and internationally.

We have supportive working practices and work towards providing wherever possible a working environment that is inclusive and accessible for those with caring responsibilities.

This diversity of thought paired with a culture of inclusion is vital for us to continue to create work that is for everyone. This makes Scottish Opera a great place to work, where people are valued for who they are.
