Role

The National Centre for Music (NCM) are seeking to appoint a Community Engagement Officer to play a fundamental role in the delivery of our Activity Plan supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

This role is a chance to contribute deeply to the creation of a cultural destination at the heart of Edinburgh as NCM takes on the operation of the iconic old Royal High School at the foot of Calton Hill. 

The Community Engagement Officer will be responsible for delivering specific projects and opportunities within our Heritage Lottery-funded project and will collaborate with diverse communities to explore the heritage associated with the project – architectural, natural and cultural. Together with those communities, they will develop projects that offer attractive, inclusive and accessible ways for local people and visitors to engage with this heritage.
