Created: 19/12/2024
OnFife is Fife's largest cultural organisation specialising in making jaws drop, hearts warm, eyes light up, and imaginations run wild. They work with a huge range of partners, artists, and creatives and their spaces are some of Fife's favourite places. An ambitious leadership-oriented charity, they're built on strong values, and those values make them who they are - fearless, inviting, fair, and exciting.
OnFife is a real Living Wage employer, and they offer a local government pension scheme, generous holiday allowance, and flexible working opportunities. If you need to travel for work, they can provide pool cars if you're near head office or pay travel expenses so you are not out of pocket. You can also access discounted gym/swim memberships and other employee benefits.
