The National Centre for Music (NCM) are now recruiting for an Events Officer.

We are seeking an Events Officer who will be responsible for delivering public engagement events within our National Lottery Heritage Fund funded project, which has an emphasis on engaging diverse audiences with the site and its development, particularly those who may often face barriers to engaging with cultural organisations like ours. The initial focus of the role will be on events responding to community interests and needs around the heritage of the building, the landscaped gardens, and related cultural heritage topics. It is anticipated that many, but by no means all events will be musical in output.

Your role is to deliver engaging and accessible events that engage local communities as well as national and international visitors with the heritage – architectural, musical, cultural, horticultural, and social. You will coordinate the logistics, planning and delivery of a wide range of event types – from festivals, to building tours, to talks, to artistic commissions and performances. The role will require good project management skills, excellent communication and a strong commitment to inclusive practices. You will also play a critical role in documenting and evaluating these early events and projects, to support long-term planning and partnerships.

Putting people at the heart of our work

Foundation Scotland puts people at the heart of its work. We rely on the expertise, trust and experience we’ve gained in the last 30 years working with communities, philanthropists and companies all over Scotland.

Our people are passionate experts in bringing lasting, positive change to Scotland’s communities. We take great pride in supporting local projects by taking a personal approach to every meeting and decision. We’re in a unique position to fully understand communities’ needs and fund solutions that will make a difference.

Our work is nationwide. We’re working with different industries, funding various projects from renewables to digital, through to arts and heritage. Our people are always challenged and have an opportunity to learn and grow. In short - no two days are the same. Ultimately, our work is highly rewarding, and the best part is seeing the real impact we can make within Scottish communities. If you share our passion for shaping Scotland’s communities' future, think about joining our team.

We provide fund governance, grant administration and related services for a range of commercial and community-sector clients, combined with a commitment to community-led approaches. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, thrives on new challenges, and is passionate about making a meaningful difference for communities.
