Crofton General Manager

(full-time, £25K p.a. plus accommodation; more may be available for an exceptional candidate)

We are nearing the end of a major project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, to conserve and re-present the early 19th century pumping station at Crofton, near Marlborough –  home to the oldest working beam engine in the world that is still in its original location and capable of performing the task for which it was installed.

We are now looking to recruit a full-time General Manager, to take overall responsibility for running this important heritage attraction, ensuring that it remains sustainable and relevant in the 21st century to visitors and to the local and canal community.

You will work with the Crofton Management Team and volunteers at Crofton, and two other members of staff.  You will be a team player, with experience of working in a small visitor attraction, probably in the heritage sector.

If you are interested in this role, please contact The Secretary, Kennet & Avon Canal Trust, Crofton Pumping Station, email crofton.katrust@gmail.com for further information.  The closing date for applications is 30 October 2020.
