About the Organisation

The Edinburgh International Book Festival brings leading and emerging Scottish, UK, and international authors and thinkers together to inspire each other and audiences through an extensive programme of public events, including conversation, interactive activities, and performance. The Book Festival takes place in person in Edinburgh but has a significant digital offering to reach authors and audiences around the world.

The Book Festival has a reputation as a powerful forum for the public to exchange views with writers and experts on a wide range of issues: social, ethical, and political as well as literary and cultural. At the heart of the Book Festival’s activity is an integrated approach to creative learning and education, with the aim of expanding participation in democratic discussion, fostering a love of reading and developing engaged, knowledgeable audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

About the Role

The post-holder will be joining the Book Festival’s highly performing team in a supportive and enjoyable working environment. This is a varied and stimulating role, with a broad range of responsibilities at different points in the Festival calendar. Reporting to the Head of Operations & Finance, the Administrator will contribute to the smooth running of a busy office and provide vital administrative support to the whole team throughout the year. The Administrator acts as the first point of contact for the Book Festival and must maintain a professional, welcoming approach to visitors to the office. The Book Festival is a great place to meet interesting people and make friends and although it can be a demanding work environment, it is also sociable and supportive.
