Edinburgh Festival Jobs Is Back — Post Your 2026 Roles for Free

Edinburgh Festival Jobs is back — rebuilt from the ground up, and now with a free listing option for every employer.

Post your first role for free

Whether you're a major Fringe venue hiring a seasonal team or a small show company looking for a flyerer, you can now post your job on Edinburgh Festival Jobs at no cost. No credit card required. No catch.

Your free listing runs for 14 days, appears in search results and category pages, and includes full application tracking — candidates apply directly through the site and you manage everything from your dashboard.

If you want extra visibility, our paid tiers give you featured badges, priority placement, and homepage featuring — but the free listing is a genuine, full-featured option that gets your role in front of jobseekers.

What's new

We've completely rebuilt the site for 2026:

• Venue profiles — dedicated pages for every major festival venue with programme data, shift pattern insights, and recruitment links
• Festival calendar — a visual timeline showing when each of Edinburgh's eleven festivals runs and hires
• Who's Hiring directory — every active festival recruitment page in one place
• Guides for jobseekers — practical advice on pay, accommodation, volunteering, and more
• Mobile-first design — the whole site works beautifully on your phone
