As Scotland’s membership organisation and sector support body for the performing arts, we have been undergoing an exciting transformation. Following a restructure in early 2024, we are seeking passionate, skilled and dedicated new staff members to join the team that was appointed in late 2024, to support and champion the performing arts in Scotland. Working with FST, you’ll play a vital role in the future of this essential part of the cultural sector.

This is your opportunity to join a newly appointed team, in a staffing structure designed to support the implementation of a strengthened strategic framework and renewed business plan at an exciting time in the evolution of FST.

The Administration and Finance Assistant will provide financial and administrative support to the staff team and ensure a smooth office routine and communications for the FST membership.

They will work across six key areas:

• Financial and book-keeping
• Correspondence and communication
• Filing and database management
• Office management
• Event and meeting management
• FST strategy and team support

We are looking for a Senior Philanthropy Manager to play a central role in driving the major gift strategy for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, focusing on expanding membership of the Principal Conductor’s Circle, fostering long-term corporate partnerships, and securing funding for a wide range of priority projects and programmes.

To maximise funding, the postholder will gain a thorough understanding of upcoming projects across the organisation and work closely with colleagues to develop compelling proposals for funding.

Could you help us continue to bring quality live music to the under-served Borders region? Would you like to play a key leadership role in supporting the future of a world-class chamber music festival?

We are currently open to applications for a Chair to lead our Board of Trustees when our current Chair stands down in October. Previous governance experience is less essential than a passion for the Arts. We are especially keen to hear from those with a connection to the Scottish Borders/Northumberland.
