General Manager

  • Full time
  • £35,000
  • On site: Glasgow
  • Closing 10th March 2025


  • Advertised from 13th February 2025
  • Beatroute Arts adopted a 4 day working week in 2023, in recognition of the need for a healthy work/life balance. This role is therefore considered full time at 30 hours per week, and also retains full-time Annual Leave entitlement. Hours are currently worked Monday – Thursday but there is a degree of flexibility, to be discussed at interview. Occasional evening and weekend work may be required.

Role

Beatroute Arts seeks a dynamic, highly motivated individual to join the team in this full-time role. An experienced manager of people and of assets, and with a keen knowledge of community- ownership, you will be a self-starter, comfortable working under your own initiative to uphold the values of community-led practice. You will have the knowledge, experience and passion to develop the Beatroute Arts Centre and its assets (a Glasgow Subway carriage and a solar- powered mobile recording studio!) to reach their full potential as community-owned resources, including maximising routes to income generation. You will not only have the ability to think strategically, but also a keen eye for detail in the day-to-day; you will work well as part of a small team, contributing your ideas, knowledge and experience across a wide range of duties which encompass not just the development of Beatroute Arts as charity, but also the essential day-to-day maintenance and back-shop work which ensure its resilience. You will be an effective manager, supporting the Venue Assistant in their duties as their designated Line Manager, co- ordinating the cleaning team and third party contractors as necessary. You will have the ability to think ‘outside the box’, bringing your creative ideas to the fore, whilst also being pragmatic, methodical and thorough in your management of systems and processes.
