About the Role We are seeking a creative and driven individual to oversee our events and marketing.

These posts will work closely together, managed by the Chair of Trustees and supported by skilled trustees and volunteers. About Us Cotesbach Educational Trust is a charity established in 2007 set within Cotesbach Estate and the thriving Stable Yard. At its core lies the Marriott archive which documents local and social history over 700 years and consists of roughly 12,000 documents. We draw on this collection to create an educational setting for environment, heritage and arts. We endeavour to use the resources in the archive as well as draw on our surroundings to ‘reconnect with place and land to develop skills for the future’. As well as providing opportunities to engage with the archive, we run talks, courses, events and facilitate bookable spaces and catered parties. Our previous speakers have included Satish Kumar and Baroness Shami Chakrabati and recent courses have been centered on nature including foraging, beekeeping, willow weaving and a dawn chorus walk.
