The National Centre for Music (NCM) are now recruiting for an Events Officer.

We are seeking an Events Officer who will be responsible for delivering public engagement events within our National Lottery Heritage Fund funded project, which has an emphasis on engaging diverse audiences with the site and its development, particularly those who may often face barriers to engaging with cultural organisations like ours. The initial focus of the role will be on events responding to community interests and needs around the heritage of the building, the landscaped gardens, and related cultural heritage topics. It is anticipated that many, but by no means all events will be musical in output.

Your role is to deliver engaging and accessible events that engage local communities as well as national and international visitors with the heritage – architectural, musical, cultural, horticultural, and social. You will coordinate the logistics, planning and delivery of a wide range of event types – from festivals, to building tours, to talks, to artistic commissions and performances. The role will require good project management skills, excellent communication and a strong commitment to inclusive practices. You will also play a critical role in documenting and evaluating these early events and projects, to support long-term planning and partnerships.

Our people are passionate experts in bringing lasting, positive change to Scotland’s communities. We take great pride in supporting local projects by taking a personal approach to every meeting and decision. We’re in a unique position to fully understand communities’ needs and fund solutions that will make a difference.

Our work is nationwide. We’re working with different industries, funding various projects from renewables to digital, through to arts and heritage. Our people are always challenged and have an opportunity to learn and grow. In short - no two days are the same. Ultimately, our work is highly rewarding, and the best part is seeing the real impact we can make within Scottish communities. If you share our passion for shaping Scotland’s communities' future, think about joining our team.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, thrives on new challenges, and is passionate about making a meaningful difference for communities.

Since being granted our Royal Charter in 1599, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow has been improving health and healthcare for people around the world.

Today, we are a professional membership body providing education, assessment and development to more than 15,000 Fellows and Members at all stages of their careers. We are a UK organisation with a global membership.

Our estate in the heart of Glasgow city centre includes modern conferencing and events facilities, a rich and extensive heritage collection with museum status, a library and our multi-award winning events offering, 1599 at the Royal College.

Our purpose is built around delivering:

• Excellent education and outstanding member experience
• New standards through assessment and gold standard qualifications
• Transformative impact on the health and wellbeing of the wider world

Our vision: To build an influential global community that enables our Members to develop the skills, knowledge and influence to improve healthcare standards worldwide.

Our mission: We want to enable our Members to achieve their full potential as healthcare professionals and give them an influential voice in the world.

Our values: The College is not a building or a tradition, but a global community. In all that we do, we’re committed to putting our people first: Fellows and Members, those undertaking our education and assessment, colleagues and partners.

For us, how we work is as important as what we do, and we aim to live by our values. They embody the essence of the College motto, conjurat amice, meaning ‘together in friendship’. It’s an approach that is as relevant today as it was 425 years ago.

• Community Working together to support one another to succeed; listening to and engaging with partners and people, locally, nationally and globally, to achieve our core purpose.
• Integrity Valuing and learning from our heritage and commitment to excellence; never compromising on our core purpose, our standards and the quality of delivery.
• Innovation Proactively challenging current thinking with a forward-looking agile approach that meets the changing needs of our members and all those who interact with us.
• Inspiration Leading by example through open dialogue, teamwork and engagement to maximise our potential and affect change.
• Inclusivity Demonstrating care, kindness, civility, generosity and mutual respect through the way we welcome, work and interact with people.

People have always been at the heart of our College. For more than four centuries, we have brought healthcare professionals together to learn, share expertise and improve healthcare. Today, we are the UK’s only multidisciplinary Royal College, with a global community of more than 15,000 Fellows and Members. It is an extraordinary network, united by a shared commitment to improving standards of healthcare and making a difference to patients and communities around the world.

This is a particularly exciting time to join us. Our organisational strategy (2025 to 2028) sets out clear ambitions for education, assessment, global engagement, membership and operational excellence. We also know that fundraising will help us go further: widening access through scholarships and bursaries, supporting global health initiatives, investing in leadership and wellbeing, and opening up our remarkable heritage and collections to wider audiences.

We are now ready to approach fundraising with greater purpose. Our Trustees have approved a three-year Fundraising Strategy to move the College from largely opportunistic activity to a structured and professionally managed programme. The direction is agreed and there is real support for making it work. What we need now is the right person to turn that ambition into action.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to build a new fundraising function. You will shape the propositions, develop the pipeline, establish strong donor relationships and put in place the systems and standards that will support fundraising for years to come. You will work closely with me, our Trustees, senior colleagues, Fellows and Members, while bringing the professional judgement to inform where our best opportunities lie.

We are ambitious, but we are also realistic. We know that successful fundraising takes time. That early progress will be seen not only in income generation, but in the strength of our relationships, the quality of our propositions and the confidence with which the College engages potential supporters. You will have the scope and support to make your mark, alongside colleagues who understand that building a successful fundraising programme must be a shared endeavour.

For the right person, this is a rare opportunity: to establish a new function within an historic and internationally connected College, and to help translate our purpose into opportunities for people to support work that matters.
