SalaryAre you a creative person who loves working with communities and connecting people and places? Our Programming and Partnerships Officer plays an important role in helping everyone to feel welcome when they visit Dunster Castle, and making sure they get the most out of their day.
This salary will be applicable from 1st April 2024.
Set on the edge of Exmoor, overlooking the Bristol Channel, Dunster Castle has been here for around a thousand years. These days this busy historic property welcomes around 200,000 people a year who come to enjoy its stunning setting and host of things to discover and do.
Together with your team, you’ll be devising and running a programme of events and activities with partnerships at their heart.
You’ll be focussed on building local partnerships with community groups, and you’ll lead on activities that are being run by these partner organisations.
As well as planning and organising a programme of events and exhibitions to run in all the places covered by your role, you’ll be linking these events to the places themselves to make sure they’re both relevant and appealing to people.
You'll be responsible for some budgets and will be supervising volunteers.
We'd love to hear from you if you’re:
- experienced in running events and activities, and/or working with community partners
- familiar with audiences in the areas of heritage, culture, arts and the natural environment
- used to running small partner-led projects within the heritage and arts sectors
- able to measure and assess results, and show their impact
- good at talking and listening to, and getting on with, all kinds of people
- someone who puts people first, and understands what’s needed for everyone to receive great customer service
- flexible and happy to work with different teams and partners, and to go wherever you’re needed to balance the workload of your team
