Hello! We’re looking for venue staff for the 2012 festival. Could this be you? Maybe! Read below and click the links to get job descriptions and to apply.
About Gryphon Venues Staffing
Like most Fringe venues, all positions are volunteer positions and require you to be available to work in Edinburgh from Tuesday 24th July – Friday 31st August inclusive and to be available to reply to emails from the Gryphon team in a timely way in the run-up to the festival e.g. regarding induction information etc. Manager positions will also require a few hours per week of emailing/ making phone calls/ research etc from the time you are appointed until arrival in Edinburgh. This will be minimal at first but require more attention throughout June/ July. As with every role at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, there will be some very long days and all volunteers are expected to be hands-on during the build and tear-down. As Gryphon is a small team, all volunteers should be prepared to help cover other roles where needed and pitch in at busy times, though of course we will not ask you to do anything for which you feel untrained or are uncomfortable about. Once the festival is up and running we will operate a rota to ensure everyone gets some time off and can see other shows. We’re sorry to say that at this time we can only take on British citizens or those who have a work visa.
