Job Description
This is an unique and exceptional opportunity assisting the Director of a rapidly growing arts and events organization, and father of two children. The majority of your time will be taken up with the marketing of events at a thriving arts centre in the famous book town of Hay-on-wye, including our annual festival. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to our festival in London. In addition, from time to time, you will help with the running of the Director’s household and the collection of children, (a boy 16 and a girl 13) from school and other activities and the preparation of the occasional meal.
The successful applicant will have a strong educational background and be able to demonstrate a real interest in events and marketing/publicity. You will be highly organized and practical as well as being independent. You will have a creative spark and will relish forming your own content, whether web based or in hard copy, and the talent to write well and create quality images and videos. Training for the role will be provided but some previous experience of events, web, social media or video would be an advantage.
We operate in a very beautiful part of the world, but it is essential that you have a car, a full driving license and a genuine love of the countryside, since you will be required to visit people and locations in the area and the Director’s house is high up in the Black mountains in Hay on Wye. The ideal candidate will either live in or have local connections to Hay on Wye/Hereford.
We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible.
