Festival Assistant, Essex Book Festival
Deadline: Mon 22 Oct 2018
Essex Book Festival takes place every March, and is the only festival of its kind to take place over a one month period, with over 140 events, hosted by forty venues, across one of the UK's largest and most diverse counties. We are seeking a Festival Assistant to join our small team in the run up to the next Essex Book Festival in March 2019.
The festival, set up in 1999 by Essex Libraries, is now an independent charity. It collaborates with a number of local, regional, national and international organisations to fulfil its objectives. Essex Book Festival has grown exponentially over the last three or four years, in terms of its audience reach and breadth of its programming.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is looking to gain experience working on a festival. The chosen candidate will demonstrate a desire to work within literature and the arts in a busy festival context.
Essex Book Festival is managed by a small team, and the Festival Assistant will play a crucial role in the delivery of the festival during the months before and during the festival itself. The Festival Assistant is a varied role incorporating elements of admin, event management, evaluation and marketing. It would ideally suit a recent graduate or an early career professional looking to gain more project experience.
