Recruitment and Opportunities
Marketing and Communications, Office Manager and Volunteer Co-ordinator opportunities are all now live!
Wigtown Festival Company is now recruiting for: Office Manager (permanent), Volunteer Co-ordinator (fixed term) and a Marketing and Communications professional (commission).
Wigtown is Scotland’s National Book Town and the annual Wigtown Book Festival is now one of the UK’s best-established literary gatherings, featuring more than 200 sessions each year for all ages, encompassing visual arts, music, theatre and food as well as literary events.
The festival draws writers and members of its audience from far and wide, while continuing to celebrate the rich history and culture of south-west Scotland. Wigtown Festival Company was established as a charity in 2007 to deliver the annual festival, and since then both the festival and its year-round engagement and educational activity has grown significantly: developing new audiences, helping writers fulfil their potential, cultivating a love of reading for pleasure in children, and providing creative opportunities for young people.
This is an exciting time for Wigtown Festival Company - having secured Multi-Year Funding from Creative Scotland, recently acquiring a permanent home in Wigtown and we are currently in the process of recruiting a Chief Executive Officer - making this the perfect time to come and join the team.
If you are passionate about books and their power to change lives, then we would love to hear from you.
