Festival Manager

Experience and a passion for the arts coupled with proven team leadership skills and the ability to work with teams, to work flexibly (including during evenings and weekends where necessary) and to work – and prioritise effectively – under pressure whilst preserving a sense of proportion and sense of humour are, however, vitally important. Very important, too, are good communication skills (written and verbal), the ability to manage others and to respond to the unexpected with an instinctively light touch. A working knowledge of Word and Excel would be very helpful and it would be useful if the holder had their own transport, a valid licence and a good driving record.

The ability to understand, produce and update Risk Assessments and Health and Safety reports would be an advantage.

The successful candidate will most likely have a good understanding of the needs and requirements of the local community.
