The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) has been connecting people around the world through the joy of Scottish Country Dancing for over 100 years. With a vibrant global membership, the RSCDS promotes health, friendship, and culture by inspiring people of all ages to dance.
RSCDS events — from the flagship Summer School in St Andrews to the popular Winter School in Pitlochry — bring together hundreds of dancers and musicians from around the world. These events are key moments in the Scottish cultural calendar and vital to the organisation’s financial sustainability.
As part of an exciting period of development, RSCDS is now looking for an Events & Marketing Manager to lead on the planning and delivery of major events, drive marketing and social media activity, and promote Scottish Country Dancing to new and existing audiences.
This is a unique opportunity for a creative and organised professional to take centre stage, both behind the scenes and at events. You will lead on all aspects of event delivery — from venue management and contract negotiation to on-site hosting — as well as oversee digital communications and social media campaigns. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, you will also line manage the Graphic Design and Website Officer and work closely with volunteers, members, teachers, and performers.
The successful candidate will have experience in event management and marketing, with strong social media and communication skills. You’ll need to be outgoing, approachable, and confident in representing RSCDS in person and online. While knowledge of Scottish Country Dancing is not essential, an enthusiasm for its community spirit is important.
This is a role full of variety and challenge, with occasional evening and weekend work, as well as three weeks’ residential attendance at Summer School and one week at Winter School. In return, RSCDS offers the chance to work with a passionate team, travel to unique events, and play a key role in shaping the future of a much-loved cultural organisation.
