In a particularly exciting time to be joining the Limmud professional team, as we
embark on implementing our new strategy with a focus on improving affordability,
facilitating dialogue across difference and diversifying our programmes, we’re glad to be recruiting for the following role in our staff team:
FESTIVAL ADMINISTRATOR
Limmud Festival takes place during the Christmas period and, as with all our projects, is
planned and run almost entirely by a legion of dedicated volunteers. These volunteers are
supported by a small staff team, concentrating largely (but not exclusively) on
administrative support needs. Due to the growing scale and complexity of Limmud Festival,
we are looking to recruit two short-term event administrators to support volunteers and
permanent professional staff in the run-up to and during the event. The Festival
Administrators’ main role is working closely to meet the needs of our presenters,
participants and volunteers. Limmud Festival 2026 will take place at the Hilton Birmingham
Metropole and other nearby hotels from 25-30 December 2026.
DURATION 01 September 2026 – 31 January 2027
HOURS OF WORK 35 paid hours per week (full time)
Will also be required to attend some out of hours / off-site /
weekend meetings and be on-site for all of Limmud Festival
2026 (including preparation days known as “set up”). All extra
hours are to be noted in an employee timesheet, to be paid
accordingly. All relevant expenses will be covered by Limmud
for off-site meetings and attendance at Limmud Festival.
LOCATION Working from our office in Hendon (NW London) with option of
some remote working. Employees may be required to work full
time in the office during November and December.
SALARY £14.80 per hour (London Living Wage)
HOLIDAY 28 days per annum, inclusive of Jewish festivals and UK public
holidays
BENEFITS Opportunity to take part in monthly customisable 1:1 Jewish
learning and regular staff team gatherings
Deadline to apply – Monday 20th July
