Events Production Assistant

HRP are reaching out to new audiences through fresh programming, big national events, and increased digital interaction; we are deepening our relationships with current and repeat users and broadening the diversity of our audiences overall; innovation and creativity, strategic partnerships and an audience-focus are central to our approach.

We are looking for an organised, dedicated and ambitious Events Production Assistant to join our Public Engagement Department. This enthusiastic and motivated person will assist in the planning, organisation and delivery of large-scale events across our palaces.

Our aim is to establish HRP as a go-to destination for engaging, participatory and enjoyable large-scale events and festivals, predominantly aimed at a family audience. In this role you will support the Events and Partnerships team to deliver a series of events to realise this aim and increase the reach and impact of HRP’s Public Engagement programme.

Interviews will be held on Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th December.

The role will initially be working on Horrible Histories Live on Stage, Tudor Jousts and Medieval Festivals. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build their experience of working within events - preferably with an interest in the arts, culture or heritage sector. You’ll be liaising with internal and external contractors, organising resources and carrying out events administration.

To be successful you will have previous events production experience working on large scale events or stage productions. In addition to this you will have a willingness to learn, strong attention to detail and excellent communication skills. You will be a real team player with, of course, a willingness to work unsociable hours during events and a flexible attitude towards working hours and travel.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a dedicated and energetic team to extend the reach of the wonderful palaces in our care to a wider audience.
