EVENTS CO-ORDINATOR (SUMMER)
Our Events team is looking for an extra team member to help coordinate our seasonal events this summer. Attracting 10,000s visitors these include Pick Your Own fruit, our Maize Maze, Sunflower Experience and Junior Farmers Club.
The role would suit someone looking to work 4 or 5 days a week, starting in May/June and going through to the end of August. If the business continues to grow as we hope it will, it might be possible to make this role permanent beyond the initial summer period.
We are happy to consider applications from anyone aged 18+ including undergraduates on summer holidays, recent graduates, through to those with years of work experience. It is a hugely varied role, requiring physical stamina, excellent customer service, self-confidence and common sense. It isn’t for everyone, but those who thrive in a busy environment will love the challenge.
Experience in a customer facing environment is essential, but don’t worry if you haven’t worked in events before. We’ll provide on the job training provided you have the right attitude to learn quickly.
Role Requirements
Please email jobs@kenyonhall.co.uk with a copy of your CV and a short cover letter highlighting the key reasons you are particularly well suited to both this particular role and to working at our farm.
There is no specific start date for this role – we can be flexible to accommodate the very best candidate. After applying we will contact you within a week if we would like to take your application further. Pay will be the hourly minimum wage for your age, with potential for an end of summer bonus depending on performance.
