THE ROLE:

We are looking for a talented and organised individual to join our close-knit team. This is a role for someone who enjoys variety and thrives on both organisation and creativity. On one hand, you’ll be the right-hand person to our CEO — keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. On the other, you’ll be creating engaging campaigns and events that inspire people to visit, return, and engage with Thorp Perrow.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

Executive Assistant Responsibilities – 50% your time

• Be the Director’s go-to support: managing diaries, correspondence, and priorities with a calm and professional approach.
• Help keep projects on track—organising meetings, travel requirements, preparing meeting minuets, and making sure actions are followed up.
• Provide support with administration as needed.

Marketing & Communications Responsibilities – 50% of your time

• Bring the stories of the Arboretum/Thorp Perrow to life through engaging social media campaigns across Facebook, Instagram, and beyond.
• Keep our website fresh and up to date with events, visitor information, and news.
• Create inspiring newsletters, press releases, and marketing materials that capture the essence of the Arboretum.
• Work with local media, tourism partners, and schools/ community groups to raise our profile.
• Support with events
• Track and report on the impact of campaigns, always looking for new ways to reach and delight audiences.
• Develop and deliver marketing plans for seasonal events, concerts, family activities, and more.
