Engagement Assistant – Part Time

Location: North West England

Part-Time – Permanent (30-hours per week)

The National Horseracing College seeks to employ a part-time Engagement Assistant to join its enthusiastic, vibrant and hardworking team.  As one of only two specialist horseracing colleges in the UK, this independent training provider delivers training for people in both racing and other equine industries.  Located in the scenic grounds of a private estate near Doncaster, it achieved Ofsted Grade 2 in 2022.

To be selected for this interesting, challenging role, you must be an enthusiastic ‘people person’ with strong interpersonal skills.  Good knowledge and understanding of horses and the equestrian community are essential; horseracing experience is desirable.

Good IT skills and proficiency in Microsoft Office are essential, as is being a confident communicator with excellent presentation skills.

The role entails engaging with educational settings and organisations that work with young people to make them aware of the college and our courses, and thereby increasing applications for the same.

These are hybrid roles that will require some time to be spent at the college. Flexibility is essential regarding remote work, including overnight stays, evening and weekend work.

We offer a competitive remuneration package including a mobile phone and IT equipment, an initial holiday entitlement of 25 days plus bank holidays (pro-rata) and a contributory pension scheme.
