Vacancies

Dunedin Consort is one of the world’s leading baroque ensembles, recognised for its vivid and insightful performances and recordings. Its ambition is to allow listeners to hear early music afresh, and to couple an inquisitive approach to historical performance with a commitment to commissioning and performing new music  

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic person to join Dunedin Consort as its Digital Marketing and Communications Officer part-time (24 hours/week). This is a newly created role and we are keen to hear from candidates with social media and digital marketing experience. You may already have experience in a similar role in classical music, or you may have transferable skills from another sector.  

Based primarily at the Dunedin Consort office in central Edinburgh — with scope for part-time remote working — you will support, and be line-managed by, the Marketing and Communications Manager in overseeing the online promotion of Dunedin Consort’s annual programme of concerts, events, and recordings with an emphasis on content creation and social media marketing.  

Dunedin Consort is a small but ambitious and dynamic team with strong plans for the future, where every individual plays a significant part in shaping our work. We work collaboratively and supportively across all our output, and you will find yourself well supported by the rest of the team. 

Due to the nature of our work, candidates will be expected to regularly attend concerts and events throughout Scotland and occasionally across UK outside of normal working hours as required by the company’s performance schedule. Time off in lieu will be granted accordingly. 

Dunedin Consort is an Equal Opportunities employer. We will consider a range of flexible working models, including condensed hours, days working from home, or other structures to accommodate a range of personal circumstances, and to ensure equality of opportunity between those who share a relevant protected characteristic and those who do not.
