Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal is one of 1199 sites globally recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Nidderdale National Landscape, and close to the city of Ripon, the estate is iconic in the North of England. The River Skell winds its way through this 800 acre site of contrasts and surprises. The abbey ruins tell the story of 400 years of monastic life, years of riches, ruin and revival, brought to a close by the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII. Studley Royal Water Garden, with its elegant canals, follies and eye-catchers was the height of fashion in Georgian times, with the designers cleverly incorporating the abbey ruins into their grand vision.

What you'll be doing:You'll be required to support the day-to-day management of the property retail operation so that it is commercially successful and consistently exceeds our visitors’ expectations. This role will focus on the outside areas of the shop, looking after our plants and outdoor garden stock such as pots, mirrors, and stakes. You'll monitor and order stock and merchandise products to achieve stretching financial targets, leading by example when it comes to service and maximising our profitability and income. You'll also supervise paid and voluntary retail staff and work effectively alongside colleagues elsewhere in the property to deliver great service to visitors, promoting and enhancing the property's sense of place.
