We are looking for enthusiastic and energetic promotional staff to join the street team for the eleventh year of the award-winning Festival Highlights programme. No experience in promotions is necessary, however a love for live performance of some description is essential.

We’ll be doing it all over again in 2013, and as ever an integral part of our operation is the street team, who spread the good word about our shows around the city throughout August.

We pay at a competitive hourly rate and can offer some lovely perks along the way. Work dates will be Monday 29th July – Monday 26th August and applicants will need to have their own Edinburgh base as we don’t provide travel or accommodation.

Work patterns and shift durations are flexible to some extent, up to a usual maximum of 36 hours per week. The team work between the hours of 11am and 11pm every day of the week on a roster basis.

If you have any queries please email anna@seabrightproductions.com and we’ll get back to you.
