Opportunities

The Co-Principal Double Bass will work 75% of the Orchestra’s schedule and will receive 4 weeks’ fixed leave. The work of the Principal and Co-Principal will be scheduled in consultation with the Orchestra Personnel Manager and, if appropriate, the Orchestra Manager. This allocation will take into account the different types of work being undertaken by the Orchestra, and reasonable requests for specific periods of time off. Either the Principal or Co-Principal must cover the Principal seat for all periods of work. There might also be occasions when the Management requires both the Principal and Co-Principal to be present, but such periods are usually indicated on the Advanced Schedule for the Orchestra.
