We are hiring a Fringe Festival Intern

Could you be our Fringe Fundraising Intern? Can you talk to venues, liaise with acts, and help us produce our very own Fringe Benefit comedy show? Edinburgh Food Project is offering an exciting new paid role that promises to be more fulfilling and more fun than your average festival job.
The role will include working with volunteers, helping on collections, and finding pics and creating content for our social media, and yes – some flyering will be involved. We’re partnering with Assembly Festival this year which means you will also have the chance to work with the Assembly team, taking on additional work as part of their box office or front-of-house teams with the potential to shadow staff in a department of interest to you, such as the management, operations, programming or marketing teams.
We’re looking for someone creative, enthusiastic, and hardworking. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you by Monday 21 April at 9am!

Using AI in your job application

We value authenticity and transparency. If you want your application to stand out, using a generic AI-generated response isn’t going to separate you from the crowd, even if it promises to personalise the response. Interviews are designed to probe deeper into your skills and experiences, so this will give us a clear indication of whether the application matches the real person at interview, or if it’s something AI has fabricated. If using AI in your job application, it should enhance your written application and showcase your best self. It’s not about creating a persona that isn’t you.
Whilst we do not prohibit the use of AI in job applications, we caution the following:
  •  AI-generated content may lack specificity and fail to address key criteria outlined in the job description.
  • Personalisation is essential to convey individual skills, knowledge, and experiences effectively.
  • Over reliance on AI-generated content is discouraged and may diminish the applicant’s chances of success.

Where AI has been used, we ask applicants to declare this in their applications in the interests of transparency.
