The Pleasance team are based year-round at our London venue, please see below for all current opportunities.
We are looking for team members with:

- Relevant skills that would support you in the role (see 'Role Description' for more detail)
The Graphic Design Assistant supports the in-house Graphic Designer during the busy production period in April, May and June. This is the time in which the majority of the Pleasance’s design assets are produced for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, with the creation of the Festival brochure requiring particular support.
The Graphic Design Assistant will work mainly from existing templates and design packages, collating and laying out assets in the house-style. This is an entry level position that would be most suited to a graphic design student or early career designer, looking to gain hands-on experience in a busy office environment.
The ideal candidate will be available three days a week over the 8 week period, however alternative work schedules will be considered to accommodate part-time work commitments or studies. Please indicate your availability in your application and this will be discussed at the interview stage.
Work Experience
We offer work experience placements throughout the year to anyone who thinks they might be interested in a career in the arts. The placements will including shadowing our Front of House, Box Office and Technical teams, as well as working with the administration staff.
We are particularly interested in hearing from people based in Islington and from under represented groups.
We are currently only able to offer work experience placements or internships of between one and two weeks to people in full-time education.
It's also worth noting that because of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, we are not able to host placements in July and August.
To enquire about work experience or internship placements, please email a paragraph about yourself and why you'd like to do a placement with the Pleasance, along with the dates you are available, to [email protected].
