Visitor Centre Officer – Glenda Spooner Farm

Part time, permanent

£24,000 FTE

World Horse Welfare is an international charity that improves the lives of horses in the UK and around the world through education, campaigning, and hands-on care.

We are looking for a friendly, highly organised individual to oversee the daily running of our Visitor Centre at Glenda Spooner Farm which sits in beautiful countryside just outside of Somerton in Somerset.  The main aim of the role is to ensure that all visitors have an enjoyable and informative experience, whilst assisting the Senior Centre Promotions Officer and Centre Manager with the organisation of a variety of events.

The successful candidate will be approachable with the ability to communicate with people at all levels.  You will be flexible, self-motivated and proactive with the confidence to deal with people at all levels. This role deals with enquiries relating to the hiring and use of centre’s facilities (indoor school and conference room) and the subsequent co-ordination of bookings, ensuring the arrangements meet all requirements.  You will provide guided tours of the working farm, promote the charity’s membership schemes and ensure all promotional and display material, including merchandise, is up to date and presented professionally.  A knowledge and experience of horses would be advantageous.  

This role offers up to 32 hours per week over 4 days.  It is operated on a flexible basis and would suit a job-share as weekend working is required.  A flexible approach towards working hours is essential as some events can take place outside of normal working hours. 

Benefits includ;

  • a generous pension scheme and cash health plan
  • paid employee sickness absence scheme
  • a minimum of 29 days’ holiday – pro rata for part time hours (including bank and public holidays)
  • Death in service
  • free uniform
  • free parking
