We're looking for an Executive Assistant who will play a key role in supporting the Chief Executive and senior management team with their busy workload. We need an organisational lynchpin to help us keep on doing what we do best – providing a space where audiences and artists meet to share exceptional sound up close.
We are welcoming, friendly and supportive and value teamwork, communication and collaboration. We work hard, but we also try to have fun and have the regular privilege of feeling the joy only live music can bring.
It is an exciting time to join us, as we write the next chapter of our Artistic Strategy and plan for the venue’s 50th anniversary in 2029. Your role will be central to keeping everything ticking. If you like to shape and organise systems, take pride in getting details right and are a friendly team player who thrives on staying on top of a flexible and varied workload, we would love to hear from you.
Contract: One-year fixed term, with possibility for extension. 3-month probationary period.
Start date: As soon as possible.
Hours of Employment: 21 hours per week (0.6 FTE), mainly during standard office hours. Working patterns to be discussed at the interview and determined to suit both the candidate and business requirements. Some hybrid working will be possible, but regular on-site working at our offices in South Edinburgh will be required, especially at the start of the contract.
Benefits:
- Annual holidays: pro rata 35 days per year, including 10 public holidays.
- Pension scheme enrolment.
- Flexible working.
- Free entry to live music and spoken word events (subject to availability).
Salary: £16,200 (£27,000 FTE).
Closing date: 5pm Friday 15th May 2026.
