We’re Hiring! Fresh Festival Talent
Fresh Festival Talent is a new opportunity for two people to be empowered to begin work within the festival sector.

In Summer of 2024, you may also be offered the opportunity to work directly onsite for one or more of our member festivals. The duties of those roles will be assigned by each festival and developed through your own interest in festivals, music or events during your time with AIF.
The role’s have been funded by Youth Music.
To apply, please send your CV and a short covering letter to Membership & Operations Coordinator Phoebe Rodwell-Carson – phoebe@aiforg.com.
