Wasps is looking for two Receptionists to provide reception and front of house support for our newest facility, Inverness Creative Academy. A vital role for the smooth running of the building.
Wasps has been supporting the arts community in Scotland for 42 years. We have grown to become one of the UK’s largest studio providers and home to Scotland’s largest cultural community.

We highly value the benefits of having different points of view and experiences in our staff team. Accordingly, Wasps welcomes and treats equally the applications from minority groups relating to – but not limited to – race and ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender, age and physical limitation.
