Full time | Closing date: 24 October 2021
We’re looking for a motivated Events Manager with good leadership skills, who will be a central part to us achieving the goals of our cathedral vision strategy. Responsible for creating a programme of annual events that will raise our profile, raise income or indeed both, at the same time!
We are looking for a person with the leadership skills and vision to help us to transform this aspect of our activities. You will lead on streamlining how we manage our events/diary, work with external partners to develop an annual programme of activities and work to deliver amazing in-house events. It is a hands-on job too so you will directly manage activities and work with other staff and our marvellous volunteers to design and execute events that will engage our existing congregation and a wider audience.
Over the past year, with the help of the Cultural Recovery Fund for Heritage, we have undertaken research and analysis to better understand the interests of those who live in our local area. These findings will be hugely important in helping us to design events and collaborate with external partners to develop a programme of activities that attract more people into our historic cathedral. Our centenary as a Cathedral coming up in 2027 is also an opportunity to conceive signature events to mark the occasion.
Job Purpose
Development and delivery of a high-quality programme of annual events in Portsmouth Cathedral and its precincts, raising the profile of the Cathedral and generating increased income to support its mission.
Management, support, recruitment, induction, and training of volunteers related to the planning and running of events (with support from the Visitor Experience and Volunteer Manager)
The incumbent may be a Licensee for the Cathedral
