About Us
The idea at the heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is simple: anyone with a desire to perform and a venue willing to host them is welcome. No individual or committee determines who can or cannot perform at the Fringe.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society was founded by artists to nurture and uphold the Fringe's values of inclusivity, experimentation and imagination. We exist to support, advise and encourage everyone who wants to participate in the Fringe, provide information and assistance to audiences, and celebrate the Fringe and what it stands for all over the world.
About the Role
We are looking for outgoing and motivated Retail Assistants that want to provide great customer service to visitors to the Fringe so they can have the best Fringe experience possible. The Fringe shop during August is an exceptionally busy hub selling merchandise and also providing information to Fringe visitors and often it’s the first-place visitors to the Fringe come.
How to Apply
