If you're excited by innovation and working in partnership to create visitor-led experiences we’d love you to lead our Visitor programming work at Belton Estate.
The Visitor Experience & Operations Team works closely with colleagues across the property to shape the quality and content of our visitor offer. This role will work to create an all year round offer for our visitors. If you are enthusiastic, driven and hard working we would love to hear from you.

You'll join the Visitor Operations & Experience team, working alongside the Welcome Manager, Programming & Partnerships Officer, Fundraising Officer, Senior Marketing & Communications Officer & Volunteering & Community Officer.

What you'll be doing
Responsible for the development and delivery of an inspiring, engaging and innovative visitor programme, you’ll be a key player in delivering our strategic ambitions for the property over several areas including cultural and creative programming, community engagement and endorsing our environmental messaging.
You’ll use programming to encourage repeat and new visits, meeting the needs of a diverse audience, and encouraging visitors to connect with our cause, collaborating with other teams on the property and building relationships with external partners to help us deliver a high-quality and consistent programme of experiences.
Part of the duty management team, responsible for the operational day-to-day visitor experience, you’ll manage a full-time Programming & Partnerships Officer too.
