The Museum’s estate includes historic and modern buildings, river meadows, woodland, gardens, allotments and orchards. We have a small amount of livestock including horses, cows, sheep, goats, pigs and poultry.
The Operations Manager will be responsible for overseeing a team (currently 8 staff plus volunteers) to maintain high standards of presentation across the museum’s land and buildings. They will be responsible for maintaining our 84-acre estate through sustainable agricultural approaches that maintain soil health, enhance biodiversity, and help visitors to understand the challenges of growing food.
The museum’s estate has a lot of potential and we are looking for someone who has the knowledge and skills to help us realise it. Some of the projects that might be implemented include a regenerative vineyard, a Community Supported Agriculture scheme and a closer relationship between what is produced in our Walled Garden and our café.
They will oversee the maintenance of the museum’s buildings, commissioning repairs and managing maintenance contracts for specialist equipment.
