Since 2005, Aurora Orchestra has established itself amongst the most creative and distinctive voices in classical music worldwide. As the pioneer of memorised orchestral performance, Aurora is redefining what an orchestra can do through its acclaimed 'Orchestral Theatre' productions. Resident in London at Southbank Centre and Kings Place, Aurora delivers over 100 performances each year, from symphonic projects for the BBC Proms and international festivals to storytelling concerts for young children and immersive performances in schools, shopping centres and nightclubs. Through its free Aurora Classroom programme the orchestra supports high-quality music education in schools throughout the UK, with subscribing teachers in more than two-thirds of local authorities nationally. The orchestra is in a strong position with a unique artistic offering, a robust financial model, and extensive national and international touring planned for 2026/27 and beyond. As John Harte steps down after 16 years, the board is seeking an inspirational Chief Executive to work alongside co-founders Jane Mitchell (Artistic Director) and Nicholas Collon (Principal Conductor). This is a rare opportunity to lead an orchestra at the cutting edge of classical music, with key challenges including ensuring continuing artistic success, consolidating financial resilience, and managing growth as Aurora matures. Reporting to the board chaired by Dame Liz Forgan DBE, you will have overall responsibility for strategic planning, financial health and day-to-day operations. Working as creative executive producer with the artistic leadership, you will lead the staff team, develop new partnerships and touring opportunities, provide overall leadership of fundraising including a new Philanthropy Committee, and act as Aurora's ambassador across the arts and education sectors. You will bring the ability to build strong rapport with artists and act as an effective executive producing partner, with entrepreneurial instincts and appetite for risk. Essential experience includes financial direction and budget management, leading complex projects and teams, and a strong fundraising track record. Outstanding communication skills and a collaborative approach are vital. Orchestral knowledge would be advantageous, but we welcome candidates from non-orchestral backgrounds who demonstrate enthusiasm for Aurora's mission. Aurora Orchestra is working with Perrett Laver to recruit to this role. For further details please visit Perrett Laver's website.

Lead Enterprise Architect Pay up to £99,836, plus 28.97% employer pension contributions, hybrid working, flexible hours, and great work life balance. Join us and shape how one of the UK's largest digital organisations connects, scales and secures the technology that underpins services for millions of citizens As a Lead Enterprise Architect, you'll join DWP Digital's Enterprise Architecture community - a team that designs the strategic technology direction for our entire organisation. You'll lead the development of DWP's reference architectures and digital blueprints, ensuring our systems evolve in a secure, modern and sustainable way. Your work will influence multi billion pound services, helping us manage technical risk, reduce complexity and drive transformation across a vast and critical technology estate. This is a high impact, highly visible role. You'll be the recognised expert in integration architecture across DWP, shaping strategic decisions, guiding senior leaders and enabling the adoption of modern technologies. You'll balance big picture vision with deep technical insight, helping teams across DWP and government deliver better, more resilient services. What skills, knowledge and experience will you need? You understand modern and legacy integration patterns, and know how technologies like APIs, events, messaging, file transfer and cloud based integration all fit together across a large, complex organisation. You have experience leading enterprise scale architecture for major, business critical systems - not just designing individual solutions, but shaping whole ecosystems and guiding major technology decisions. You're confident presenting complex topics to a wide range of audiences - senior leaders, technical teams, cross government partners and external stakeholders. You have experience running architecture governance that helps organisations make consistent, informed decisions. You know how to create reference architectures, principles and standards, and can explain them clearly to technical peers. You understand both modern architectural approaches (like microservices, APIs, cloud and event driven design) and traditional on premise monoliths - and how to bridge between them. You and your role As a Lead Enterprise Architect, you will be at the heart of shaping DWP's future technology landscape.

You'll lead horizon scanning, keep us aware of industry, government and digital trends, and translate emerging thinking into actionable recommendations for DWP. This position will also play a central role in influencing how we integrate platforms and services across the enterprise. This isn't command and control: success comes from chairmanship, collaboration and the ability to bring people together behind a shared architectural vision. You'll work across teams, portfolios and programmes to unblock challenges, shape roadmaps, spark pathfinder projects as well as help technical teams adopt modern integration approaches. As the expert in this domain, you'll often represent DWP across government, contributing to cross department initiatives and briefing senior leaders (including ministers) on specialist topics. You'll mentor other architects, support Product Delivery Unit teams, and help ensure the architectural "jigsaw" across DWP fits together coherently. This is a role for someone who wants to originate strategy, shape technology direction at national scale, and leave a legacy that improves the way government works for years to come. Details. Wages. Perks. Location: You'll join us in one of our brilliant digital hubs in Birmingham, Blackpool, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle or Sheffield, whichever is most convenient for you.

Our partners represent a combined market value of almost $3 trillion and work collaboratively to make travel more sustainable. What we do Travalyst's mission is to make it easier for travellers and travel providers to make sustainable choices by bringing credible, consistent sustainability information to the mainstream.
