Commercial Venue Management Opportunity at the Portobello Green Hub

This is an exciting opportunity for an entrepreneurial and innovative music and/or arts promoter with an understanding of local communities, strong networks and a genuine interest in showcasing artistic talent.

This small venue has an established recognition for doing this, but now it is in a new and shared guise, so you will need to be adept at working alongside other users. For the full details see the full tender document.
