A little about us:
Harmony Maidstone is a registered charity who looks to support people of all ages and backgrounds to get into performance and creative arts. Although it has been running since the early noughties, new management and a mobile working structure means the charity is heading into new and exciting avenues. With so much happening during this time and a new underpinning plan in the works, the current Ops Manager needs a helping hand with some basic admin tasks as well as support running events and planning future activities.
Current Ops Manager Zoe Sparkle has worked in the entertainment industry within Maidstone for over 15 years. From creating and managing the Maidstone Fringe Festival and local music venue The Rafters, Zoe has supported visual and performing arts and original music through pub gigs, council festivals, arts parades, high street stages, yarn bombing projects, street theatre and workshops. Now leading the Harmony charity and Maidstone Pride, Zoë is looking for day to day support, so this role has been created and awaits the right person!
