Event Manager

Charleston is seeking an experienced Event Manager to support venue hire across the site. As well as our public programme, Charleston has hosted some extraordinary private events. These have ranged from high profile collection launches to Christmas parties, memorial services to naming ceremonies. Events have ranged from intimate parties of 10 to large celebrations of 300.

Charleston is now looking to increase the number of private hires we deliver each year. Central to this vision is the recruitment of an event manager who can take ownership of this strand of the organisation. The role will manage events from confirmation to delivery, liaising with clients, catering partners and external suppliers as required. The role will also act as duty manager on the day of an event, which usually take place on evenings and weekends, or on Monday/Tuesday when the site is closed to the public. This role is physical in nature and will include lifting and moving of equipment. Training on the specific demands of our rural site will be provided. There will also be opportunities available to support the delivery of Charleston’s four festivals throughout the year. This role needs to be flexible and workload will vary according to the number of events booked in. 

Application deadline: Monday 27 February 12 noon

Interview: Week commencing 6 March at Charleston.

Desired start date: Week beginning 20 March 2023. Please indicate on your application your available start date.
