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 Access team are based at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, Lauriston Place, Edinburgh and are responsible for staffing the Access cabin. The Access team works closely with the Box Office and Front of House teams. During the Festival the Access cabin is usually open 09:30-21:00 daily but occasionally stays open later depending on the timing of the last event.

This is an ideal opportunity for individuals who wish to build on their existing box office and customer service skills in a high-pressure festival environment. Excellent customer service and communication skills, enthusiasm, and an ability to work effectively as part of a small team are all essential for this role.
