Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology is a creative production learning community, housed in the legendary Funkhaus, delivering Bachelor's and Master’s degree programmes. Organised into a Music School and Film School, our diverse and ever-growing programmes are based on the values and concepts of progressive, project-based education whilst complying with the rigorous requirements of a UK university qualification.
Aiming to become the international creative production and performance learning institution of choice, we encourage students to push their creative boundaries way beyond what they thought possible, at the same time engaging with their personal growth as a human being. With students from over 72 different countries, our creative community is a working environment that is international and multicultural.

What are we looking for?
A team member
Moving beyond outmoded ways of working together, striving toward a conscious people-centred culture, we operate in a distributed leadership model, which we can describe in more detail in-person. We are excited to invite team members who have the courage to bring more of their own interests, insights, and backgrounds to the mix.
Whilst the aims of the school are what bring us together, what keeps us together in our dynamic community is the idea that people can bring more of their authentic selves and not just their “professional” selves to the workplace.
An admissions partner
This is a full-time role shared between the admissions team and front-end office. This person will be available to the students on a daily basis for all admissions-related questions.

What you can expect from us
We offer a working environment where learning and exchange are invited and encouraged. Within our vibrant creative community, we share a lively and flexible work environment. By design, the working environment invites fuller expression of yourself, taking initiative in shaping your own role(s), and opening up possibilities to develop yourself as an administrator as well as a creative professional (if applicable).
Part of what animates our work together is trying to find ways of delivering a progressive and rigorous education to our students, whilst centring community and belonging. We therefore strongly encourage applications from those who would traditionally be excluded from an educational institution. For Catalyst that means we envision a constellation of team members that is diverse in its gender, race, class, ability, age and sexual orientation backgrounds.
