Job Opportunity - Literature Development Officer

Initially 4 month post; further year subject of application to SAC, decision expected May 2008. Salary: £21,861

As some of you may know, Andy Forster is moving on to pastures new with the Wordsworth Trust in Grasmere. Their gain is undoubtedly our loss, but Dumfries & Galloway Arts Association is therefore seeking a creative individual, able to work on their own initiative to develop and co-ordinate literary activity throughout the region, and manage an ongoing events programme, working in partnership with Wigtown Book Festival and Dumfries & Galloway Libraries, Information and Archives.

Candidates will have a track record of literature development in the community and a thorough knowledge of the literary scene, both contemporary and historic, in Scotland and beyond.

For information and application pack contact Danny McGrain, Administration and Finance Officer, on 01387 253383, or email danny@dgaa.net. For an informal chat call Susan Garnsworthy on 01387 253383. Closing date 17 April 2008.
