Torquay, United Kingdom Torbay Council Full time

**Description**:
**Job Description & Person Specification >**

Events specialist required to help us to create an amazing English Riviera events programme.

We believe that the English Riviera is a very special place. Those that live here know how naturally inspiring the area is. Those that visit get a glimpse of why this is one of Earth’s extraordinary places - a UNESCO Global Geopark. And now we need your help to turn this perfect backdrop into one of the country’s leading event destinations.

You will need to be an experienced Events Manager, Senior Events Officer or strategic practitioner with events experience, who can help us take forward the area’s events strategy.

You will steer the development of a multi-layered, year-round, area-wide events programme, and work collaboratively to create events that not only have a national and international appeal but that also enrich the lives and support the development and well-being of the local community.

You will work towards turning our ambition into reality, so that people’s perception and experience of visiting the area meets their expectation of the English Riviera as one of the UK's key premier resorts.

You will demonstrate your ability to encourage local event organisers to produce high quality local events and nationally renowned producers of largescale commercial and non-commercial events to develop new events in an area, as well as supporting such event producers to work collaboratively with local creatives and community partners.
