Edinburgh Science Foundation is an educational charity that inspires people of all ages and backgrounds around the world to experience the wonder of science and technology. Best known for Edinburgh’s annual Science Festival – the world’s first science festival and still one of the world’s largest – and for our Learning programmes that sees Generation Science tour Scotland and bring science to life in classrooms throughout the year and promotes STEM careers to teens through initiatives such as Careers Hive.
An increasing worldwide element shares our content, passion and expertise more widely through an extensive portfolio of international projects.
We are seeking a Project and Sales Assistant to provide high-quality sales and administrative support to our organisation. This is an exciting and diverse opportunity focusing on our schools touring programme, Generation Science, and the annual Edinburgh Science Festival. The role is key to the smooth running of our busy programming and operations teams.
You will focus on selling science shows and workshops to schools, providing support for touring performers and supporting the smooth running of the preparation and delivery phases of these projects through administration of project logistics and production needs. This will include procurement of accommodation, travel, consumables and equipment, as well as effective communication with stakeholders and coordination of the print process.
At Edinburgh Science we welcome applications from all backgrounds because we believe that bringing together people with different perspectives, ideas and experiences always leads to better discussions, decisions and results.
