Turner Sims is the University of Southampton’s acclaimed music venue with big ambitions to build an inclusive world through the joy of live music. Having recently launched our rebrand, new website, and celebrated our 50th anniversary last autumn, the postholder will play a major role developing and delivering the next phase of our ambitious marketing and audience development plans, aligned to the University’s strategy: Inspiring the Remarkable.

In our 50-year history, we’re proud to have supported early careers of many great artists. We champion diverse talent and welcome adventurous audiences to discover new music, alongside old favourites. With national partners, we’re creating opportunities for artists and audiences to share the joy of live music in the Hampshire and Solent region.

Through our expanded engagement programme, we’re actively welcoming new audiences who’ve never engaged with us before. And importantly, students and young people are playing a vibrant role in shaping the next 50 years of Turner Sims.

We believe equality, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to making the University of Southampton a welcoming, vibrant and successful organisation. Having a diverse workforce, inclusive of people of all ages and beliefs, from different racial, educational and social backgrounds opens up a wealth of possibilities, makes us more creative and accelerates our impact on society. We welcome applicants that value the diversity of our community and are willing to play their part in supporting the mission of inclusivity.
