Are you inspired by Edinburgh being the world’s first UNESCO City of Literature, pioneer in an international network of Creative Cities spanning the globe? Our Board needs you...

We are looking to appoint two to three enthusiastic new Board members with particular experience in one or more of the following: finance, large-scale building projects, community engagement, and human resources.

We want our Board and our programme of work to have a broad representation and we welcome applications from across all communities.

It is our aim for new appointees, once approved, to formally take up their post from September 2020, for a period of up to three years. The posts are not remunerated but some expenses are covered as per our Board Members’ Expenses Policy.
