Audience Engagement Manager

The Lord Leycester is a thriving attraction in the centre of Warwick, welcoming visitors to immerse themselves in one of the most striking and picturesque collection of timber framed medieval buildings in the country, explore the stories of Elizabethan England, find out more about the history of our unique community, or just relax in our beautiful walled garden. There are regular events and activities to enjoy, alongside a caf , shop and private hire opportunities. The resident veterans (known as Brethren) play an active part in welcoming visitors alongside staff and volunteers.

Thanks to support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, we are just reopening for our first full season following a major development project. We have ambitious targets for the 2024 season including increased footfall, deepening engagement with current users, as well as diversifying audiences, engaging with local communities, and enabling a wider range of people to participate in programmes and activities on site, as well as improved visibility.

The Audience Engagement Manager will be responsible for developing, co-ordinating and the day to day delivery of the formal and informal learning and public programmes at the Lord Leycester as outlined in the approved Activity Plan. You will manage and work with the Volunteer and Activities Co-ordinator, freelance delivery staff, volunteers and student placements.

This is a fixed term contract, running to August 2025, with potential to extend.

The postholder will be expected to be flexible in working arrangements and work evenings and weekends as required.

The post is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players.
