Development Assistant
£25,500
Closing Date 9 April 2026
Permanent, Full Time
About Us
The idea at the heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is simple: anyone with a desire to perform and a venue willing to host them is welcome. No individual or committee determines who can or cannot perform at the Fringe.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society was founded by artists to nurture and uphold the Fringe's values of inclusivity, experimentation and imagination. We exist to support, advise and encourage everyone who wants to participate in the Fringe, provide information and assistance to audiences, and celebrate the Fringe and what it stands for all over the world.
About the Role
As a registered charity, the Fringe Society relies on the financial support from a diverse range of income streams, including our Fringe Friends scheme, Corporates, Trusts, and individuals. Based within the Fundraising and Development team and reporting to the Development Manager, the Development Assistant will provide the administrative function of this work, ensuring that deadlines are met, and accurate customer records are maintained.
