Job Details

We’ve got a permanent spot in our finance team for someone who’s ready to get stuck in supporting the commercial side of The Glasshouse – that’s all our cafés, bars, retail and conferencing.

We’re a place where you can hear rock legends or pop icons on the same night as folk trios or opera singers. Where new musicians are nurtured and showcased on the same stages as platinum- selling performers.  And where youth choirs and tambourine- shaking toddlers practice in the same spaces as our acclaimed orchestra Royal Northern Sinfonia.
