Events, Activities and Community Coordinator - Elysian Training and Development - Shamley Green

Job Summary
We're looking for an enthusiastic, organised and commercially minded person to join our growing team and help shape one of the most exciting areas of Elysian.
This isn't your typical events role.
One week you could be coordinating a family event, delivering Pony Play, developing our Junior Elysian Farmers programme or helping run a children's birthday party. The next, you might be supporting a corporate team-building day, planning a seasonal event or developing a brand-new community initiative.
We're looking for someone who enjoys making things happen. Someone who is confident, proactive, full of ideas and understands that great events don't just create memorable experiences – they also generate income, grow participation and help secure the future of organisations like Elysian.
You'll need to be flexible, happy working across our Surrey and Hampshire sites, and willing to work regular weekends, school holidays and occasional evenings as part of a varied working pattern.
In return, you'll be joining a supportive and passionate team, working in a truly unique environment with animals, families, children and communities, with the opportunity to help build something special from the ground up.

Working Pattern & Expectations

• Flexibility to work around the needs of participants, events and activities.
• Regular weekend working throughout the year.
• Availability to work during school holidays.
• Occasional evening work as required.
• Travel between Elysian sites.
• Work outdoors in all seasons and varying weather conditions.
• Participate in practical and physical activities where appropriate.
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of events and activities.
• Understand that this is not a traditional Monday–Friday office-based role.

Benefits

• 28 days annual leave, including bank holidays.
• NEST Workplace Pension.
• £1,800 Flexibly4All Allowance.
• Time Off in Lieu (TOIL) for agreed additional hours worked.
• Flexible working patterns where operationally appropriate.

*This organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Thorough background checks and an enhanced DBS will be required.*
