Job Description

https://vangoghhouse.co.uk/jobs/ - Festival Assistants ( Marketing and Programme)

£27,000 pro rata 0.4 FTE (2 days a week), Fixed term contract June-Nov 2025

Van Gogh House is the Georgian terraced house in which Vincent once lived, now an artist residency and space for exhibitions, events and performances.

We are currently seeking two Festival Assistants with strong connections to Lambeth to support the programming and marketing of a new arts festival we are running called The Festival of Encounters.

The Festival of Encounters comprises around 40 talks by artists, writers, activists, musicians and thinkers in venues across Northern Brixton, including Van Gogh House, other purpose-built venues and more unusual spaces such as cafes, bicycle repair shops, private gardens etc.

The Festival Assistant roles are aimed at people who aspire to work in or are in their first professional role in the arts. You might be in your first role or have had a little experience already but we're keen to hear from you if you are motivated to take on a new challenge, and especially if you've faced barriers to accessing paid roles in the creative industries so far.
