Essex, Eastern England, United Kingdom PROSPECTUS-4 Full time

Prospectus are delighted to be working with a prestigious heritage site based in Essex. They are looking for a experienced and dynamic General Manager to oversee all aspects of day-to-day operations of the site. This role offers an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic leader passionate about history, community engagement, and delivering memorable visitor experiences. As General Manager, you will be at the forefront of the site's mission to preserve and celebrate its legacy, while ensuring that visitors and community feel connected to its unique historical significance.

This particular heritage site is embarking on an exciting new phase in its history, under a refreshed trustee body and building on Stakeholder Engagement work completed last summer to reimagine its vision and move towards a mixed use business model. Working directly to the CEO, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the site, including its safety, maintenance, and presentation, to create a welcoming and secure environment for all.

The successful candidate will bring strong operational expertise, a strategic mindset, and the ability to manage a small but diverse team of staff and many volunteers. Financial oversight will be key, as you will monitor income and expenditure, explore new revenue-generating opportunities, and contribute to budget planning to support the charity’s mission. Experience in successfully managing organisational change, including through the use of IT, will also be useful.

We are looking for a leader with a background in site, operations or resource management, ideally in a historic or visitor-attraction setting. Your ability to engage with the local community and foster strong relationships will be essential, as will your dedication to creating a positive and inclusive team culture. You will play a crucial role in developing educational programs and events, ensuring that heritage site remains a valued community asset and a destination for learning and discovery. This role is ideal for a proactive and organised individual with a strong commitment to heritage preservation, public engagement, and team development.

If this description resonates with you, we encourage you to submit your CV in Word format as soon as possible. Suitable candidates will be provided with further details about the role.

As a specialist Recruitment Practice, we are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application.
