Gwrych Castle – Trust Administrator

Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust is looking to recruit an Administrator as part of their Resilient Heritage Project which is looking at the long term plans for the castle whilst it also operates as a visitor attraction. The National Lottery Heritage Fund [Affiliate Alliance Member] has funded the role between 2 January to 31 July 2020. It is anticipated that the role will continue beyond this date as the castle develops.

The administrator role would include the strategic management and operational involvement in two principal areas:

• Trust Administration – financial, compliance and office management;
• Visitor Experience – the daily operation of the castle’s visitor route; event planning, marketing and delivery; volunteer coordination, maintenance and recruitment.

The role would report to the Trust’s Chair and would also include the line management of support staff. The role would be part time, between 21 to 28 hours a week, covering weekends when events are being run. The salary will be commensurate to the experience of the successful candidate. Whilst the ability to speak Welsh is not essential for the role, conversational Welsh would be beneficial. Essential for the role is an enthusiastic, organised candidate with a flexible approach and the ability to drive.

The closing date for applicants will be 6 January 2020 with interviews held the following week. CVs and covering letters should be emailed to: gwrychtrust@gmail.com.
