Summary
This roles sits within the Visitor Operations and Experience team based at Tyntesfield, part of the wider Bristol portfolio, and involves working across programming, partnerships and children & young people engagement.
Tyntesfield is one of 19 Children and Young People hubs in the National Trust, meaning developing opportunities to engage with diverse children and young people is a key priority for the property, particularly those with least access to nature and heritage in support of the National Trust's ‘Everyone Welcome' ambitions. Managed by and working closely with the Programming & Partnerships Manager, the role holder will lead on elements of our wider children and young people work, particularly the school learning programme, family programming events and community partnership work aimed at reaching more diverse children.
This role is 2.5 days a week- occasional weekend working will be required during busier school holiday periods to support the delivery of events. This post will be required to take part in a rota to provide daily duty manager cover as key point of contact for escalation of emergency and security issues or customer complaints.
This is a fixed term contract due to end when the previous employee returns from maternity leave. At this point we cannot confirm exactly how long this contract will last, but it is unlikely to be more than 12 months.
Interviews will be held 11th and 12th June.
What it's like to work here
The 70-strong team at this spectacular Victorian gothic house have ambitious plans for growth over the next few years. Tyntesfield's excellent location just outside of Bristol means there is great scope to develop the visitor experience to this vast estate, and the team are encouraged to be forward thinking and creative in their approach. There is a strong sustainability focus at the property with working kitchen gardens that produce delicious produce for the café and restaurant.
