Would you like to create 'WOW' moments to inspire young people?
 
Picture yourself as our Education Officer on the Goodwood Estate, in the stunning West Sussex countryside. You'll lead a small team who actively encourage children and groups of all ages to learn from the land through hands-on outdoor learning opportunities.  From their first step on the Goodwood Estate our visitors know they are welcome, feel that they are listened to, and are confident that we can make their time here special and memorable.

This is a joint venture with the Goodwood Education Trust.

You'll play a key role in our visitor journey, planning and co-ordinating engaging school visits, that cover environmental awareness and food provenance.  Goodwood’s organic Home Farm supplies all our chefs with the best quality produce and we are passionate about our field to fork philosophy.  As such you will actively create experiences made to treasure, through workshops and residential visits.

In this role you will deliver best practice health and safety management; liaise with key teams at Goodwood to help market and promote our unique offer and tailor visits to individual group needs and exceeding expectations.
