About the Role

As a member of the Senior Management Team, the Head of Finance and Administration plays a key role within NYOS. You will oversee all finance and administration processes, ensuring that our strategic objectives and operational delivery models are founded on sound financial planning and controls; that our systems are effective and robust; and that our people are well supported. The post holder currently manages a Digital Applications Apprentice, who supports finance and administration functions, and an Executive Assistant who supports the Chief Executive.

The Work Room is seeking a Digital and Communications Lead. We are looking for a creative, organised and responsive person to join our team. This is one of two, new part-time roles that we are currently recruiting – the other being the Artists Programme Producer role. These new roles will help us better support our expanding artists community and future plans.

This role will lead on digital engagement and communications to deliver our mission to support a sustainable environment for independent dance artists; enabling them to make high quality, thoughtful and pioneering dance for diverse contexts at home and internationally.

This role is for someone with a creative approach to shaping our digital communications and managing the systems that support these. You will bring a passion for utilising our existing platforms and an eye for implementing new approaches. You will manage and innovate our social and communication channels and your influence will improve the visual impact of everything we produce.

The role is based on 3 days /21 hours a week and there is the potential for flexibility in this with the potential for the total annual hours to be worked in a configuration that suits the organisation and the post-holder, enabling them to have concentrated periods to undertake other work or projects outwith The Work Room.

“A vital, unifying force for Scottish theatre, dance and opera.”

(A Review of the Federation of Scottish Theatre, 2023)

Federation of Scottish Theatre are looking for two new individuals to join our Board of Trustees. FST plays a vital role in advocating for, connecting across, and leading necessary change within Scotland’s performing arts sector. As an organisation, we are guided by a dedicated Board of Directors, made up of experienced professionals from across the performing arts sector in Scotland. In a bold step toward broadening our vision and impact, we’ve recently updated our governing documents to welcome Non-Executive Directors from outside our membership. This change opens the door to fresh ideas, diverse expertise, and valuable insights from beyond the arts—strengthening our leadership and enriching our work.

At FST, we believe diversity fuels creativity and strengthens leadership. We’re actively working to build a Board and staff team that reflects the richness and variety of the communities we serve. We’re looking for curious, and collaborative thinkers—people who bring different perspectives and challenge the status quo. We particularly welcome applications from people of colour, gender-diverse individuals, disabled people, and others whose voices have historically been underrepresented in our sector. This is a space where your voice matters—and will be heard.

Following a recent review of Board membership, we have identified the need for new Trustees and are looking for candidates with skills and experience in the following areas: Financial; HR/Legal; Public Policy & Research.

FST’s Board of Trustees work on a voluntary basis and meet four times a year. We welcome candidates from all over Scotland and can facilitate online attendance at meetings as required.
