Activities & Events Assistant
Organisation: Bowhill House & Country Park
Salary: £26,000 FTE (dependent on skills and experience)
Location: Bowhill House, Selkirk
What we do? Buccleuch is a diverse and innovative business with a passion for sustainable land use in rural Britain. At Bowhill House visitors are spoiled for choice. They can enjoy a woodland walk, marvel at our beautiful gardens, explore the adventure playground, take a guided tour, and treat themselves to home baking and delicious lunches in the Old Kitchen Café or refreshments from The Horsebox.
The role? In this hands-on and varied role, you will support events and children’s activities, coordinate bookings, help set up for events, and generally pitch in where needed to ensure the smooth operation of our visitor services. Alongside administrative responsibilities, you will also work practically and creatively, working outdoors and immersing yourself in the unique character of the estate. While we think this is a full-time role over 5 days per week, we are open to applications from those who would prefer to work 4 days per week. Weekend working is required to support our busiest times, and occasional evening cover for events may also be required.
The person? With experience of planning and running activities, you will be a creative and positive individual with a can-do attitude. Comfortable using your initiative, you will have the confidence to take on practical tasks when needed, and will enjoy a busy and varied workload. You will be great with people, have a good level of IT skills and an organised approach to work. If you’re friendly, calm under pressure, and have a creative flair, we’d love to hear from you!
Why work for us? This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a great team in the stunning surroundings of Bowhill House. We offer excellent benefits including private health cover, six weeks’ holiday, gym and shopping discounts, and wellbeing related support and resources.
