Kedleston Hall, Quardon, Derby, DE22 5JH

Key information

You’ll assist in the delivery and development of a programme of activities and events. This may include helping create, install and maintain trails, as well as engaging with visitors and leading activities.

By doing so, you’ll help to create an enjoyable experience for everyone that visits Kedleston and Sudbury and help them understand more about our places.

As two large properties, both Kedleston and Sudbury welcome families and walkers, as well as art and history enthusiasts looking to learn more and take part. You'll report to the Senior Visitor Experience Officer at Kedleston Hall, but split your time across both properties, working with your counterparts at Sudbury as well. 

For this role, you’ll need to complete our online assessment instead of using a C.V. or online application form. This will help us understand more about your strengths and give you more information on the role.

The working pattern for this role may vary according to programming plans at each property, and may include occasional evening working as well as weekends and bank holidays.

Interview Date: Week Commencing 20th April

About the role

  • Working with the staff and volunteers, you'll help create and deliver events and activities across both properties throughout the year. 
  • Supporting with preparation and planning, install and maintenance, you'll be hands on at both properties to provide relevant and robust creative programming. 
  • You'll also be leading activities, events and workshops which form foundational or seasonal programming offers.
  • You’ll monitor quality and deliver high standards of presentation on site and while maintaining clear and consistent communications with our visitors around the property. 
  • Understanding how and why we engage our supporters is key. You’ll help link everything we do back to our cause and the on-going work we do.
