What it's like to work here

Quarry Bank’s a great place to work as it’s a lively property open to the public 7 days a week. As a team, we're all really passionate about conservation, access, inclusivity and making sure that everyone who comes into contact with us has a great welcome and fantastic experience. We’re a dynamic and friendly group of 115 full and part time staff and nearly 500 volunteers working together to share the unique and varied stories of our special place. 

What you'll be doing

You’ll be responsible for delivering our Children and Young People activity as part of our strategy for this audience. You will lead on setting up a Youth Forum for 16 – 25 year olds that creates space for us to collaborate with young people on areas of mutual benefit. 

We’re looking for someone with real enthusiasm and demonstrable passion for Children and Young People, but with a thorough understanding of the need to see the bigger picture and work well as part of a team at this complex and fascinating property. The successful candidate should have significant practical experience in developing new audiences and delivering activities, programmes and initiatives for Children and Young People.

You’ll need to demonstrate exceptional people skills with the ability to coach and support teams of staff and volunteers as well as building relationships with internal and external stakeholders. Experience of drawing up grant scheme and external funding applications as well as managing budgets would be an advantage.
