4. Coordinating press and media engagement.
5. Strengthening the narrative connection between the festival and Govanhill Baths.
6. Producing a post-festival report evaluating communications activities.

We are looking for a proactive communicator with proven experience in marketing and storytelling, ideally in the arts, community, or activism sectors. Experience in community-led promotion, digital content management, and inclusive outreach is essential. Knowledge of Govanhill or similar community settings is desirable.

How to apply:
