Berwick-upon-Tweed is in the middle of an exciting cultural transformation, with The Maltings (Berwick) Trust playing a central role in the town’s future. Alongside a major redevelopment project, we continue to deliver a year-round programme of visual arts, cinema, live performance and creative engagement across North Northumberland and the eastern Scottish Borders.
We’re looking for a creative, curious and motivated individual to join us as a Digital Content Assistant through the Create Your Future programme – a paid placement supporting young people into creative and cultural careers.
This role offers hands‑on experience working across a busy cultural organisation during this exciting period. You’ll help tell the story of our exhibitions, cinema programme, events and creative activity through engaging digital content, while gaining valuable experience in arts marketing, social media and audience engagement.
Working closely with our Marketing Manager and wider team, you’ll support content creation, campaign delivery and online audience growth. You’ll also gain insight into programming and cultural production through shadowing opportunities with our Programming team.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone at the start of their creative career who wants to build confidence, develop practical skills and gain experience working in a fast‑paced arts environment.
