A major source of the charity’s income is generated through a range of events and heritage activities on site and the operations manager is expected to continually explore opportunities for generating income, new events, activities, and audiences.

We are looking for someone who can lead and inspire a small team of staff and a large team of volunteers to develop their potential and succeed, someone who works flexibly, adapts to changing environments, is confident, ambitious, highly motivated, and creative. You will be competent in using a range of IT and social media and have experience of assessing and managing risk. You will be expected to engage and work with a range of stakeholders.

This post has overall responsibility for leading and managing all aspects of operations and will report to the Chair.
