Wasps currently houses 1000 creative people, including 33 arts charities and 47 creative businesses across 20 locations, from the Scottish Borders to the Shetland Islands. Their work, in turn, touches the lives of thousands of people across Scotland and beyond.
Wasps’ activities support the regeneration of communities across Scotland. They redevelop redundant, historic buildings and convert them into essential facilities for artists and creative industries, improving the heritage and economy of the communities in which they are based.
They support the creative community with an arts enterprise programme, including exhibition, workshop and residency opportunities, along with professional development support, delivered across eight galleries, and two residency spaces.
Wasps is a financially, self-sustaining social enterprise, and proud to support the largest cultural community in Scotland.
The majority of the team is based at the Head Office at The Briggait in Glasgow, but they also have smaller satellite offices in Edinburgh, Perth and Inverness to manage key properties.
The organisation is overseen by the Wasps Board, which consists of 15 Trustees/Directors with members drawn from a variety of backgrounds, including property, the arts and finance.
Wasps is looking for an enthusiastic and proactive Finance Manager, who shares its core values, to join its small team.
