We have an exciting opportunity to join the Visitor Experience team at Heaton Park as a Programming and Engagement Officer on a permanent basis.

This role is instrumental in ensuring that we have a fun, friendly and exciting offer throughout the year for our millions of visitors.

This role will include creating and delivering a high-quality programme of activities, identifying and delivering commercially viable opportunities and working in partnership with new and existing stakeholders, charities and community organisations.

If you're successful in this role you will join the Visitor Experience team at Heaton Park as we move into the next stages of our visitor offer.
