We are looking for a passionate, positive and proactive person who thrives on connection with people and working collaboratively, to support the delivery of the Community Connections programme and the Festival’s Access initiatives. This includes working across a variety of projects, workshops, resources and events as part of the wider Audience’s Department strategy, enshrining accessible practices and inclusion. 

This post includes working with communities, organisations, individuals and artists across Edinburgh, Scotland and internationally.

The Edinburgh International Festival is an equal opportunity employer, and we value diversity. We believe that an inclusive culture is the foundation for a successful workplace, and we strive to grow our diverse representation across our staff, our artists, and our audiences.

We are collecting data to measure the effectiveness of our recruitment methods, to ensure that they are fair. We strive to ensure our opportunities are accessible to people from all backgrounds.

We actively encourage applications from currently under-represented groups. We have identified people from the global majority and people who are D/deaf, disabled or neurodivergent, as the key areas we would like to focus our recruitment efforts in.
 

We want you to help us present this unparalleled celebration of the performing arts, which brings some of the most exciting and creative artists working today to audiences from around the world.
