Deadline: Monday 10th November, 10am
Eastgate Theatre & Arts Centre is seeking a Marketing Assistant to support its ambitious artistic and participatory programme during an exciting period of change. This is a part-time, fixed-term opportunity (2 days per week) from December 2025 to March 2026, with the possibility of extension subject to funding. The post will be paid at the Real Living Wage. Some flexible and hybrid working is available, though regular in-person work at the theatre in Peebles will be required.
Under new leadership since Autumn 2024, Eastgate Theatre has entered an exciting new phase of development.

We deliver a wide range of creative and wellbeing-focused participatory programmes, and serve over 30,000 visits each year from across Tweeddale and beyond.
The Marketing Assistant will work closely with the Marketing & Communications Manager to help deliver effective campaigns and communications during a major website redevelopment and box office system migration. You will play a key role in keeping audiences engaged, informed and inspired throughout this period.
We are looking for someone with:
-
Strong organisational and communication skills
-
Confidence using social media platforms and digital tools
-
An eye for detail and enthusiasm for creative marketing
-
The ability to work collaboratively in a small team environment
-
An interest in the arts, community engagement, and cultural life in rural areas
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience in arts marketing and make a meaningful contribution to the future of a much-loved local arts venue.
To apply, please send your CV and a short covering note (max one page) outlining your relevant experience and interest in the role to fraser@eastgatearts.com by Monday 10th November, 10am.
