Volunteer Event Manager

What will you be doing?

Event Manager needed for our botanic garden project's annual Summer garden festival bringing together plant nurseries and gardening, green and wellbeing groups in the Hastings area. This helps promote our longer-term aim of creating a landmark Winter/botanic garden on the South Coast, commemorating the local botanic artist Marianne North.  The ideal candidate needs a minimum three years' experience, planning and implementing events. Must be organised and attentive to detail - and confident liaising with schools and official bodies such as Health & Safety. Will be working in a small, motivated group. Own transport and familiarity with social media would be an advantage. 

What are we looking for?

The Event Manager must be organised, methodical and diplomatic. Previous experience at organising events is essential. Needs to be resourceful - and expert at using social media.

What difference will you make?

Our festival brings joy to local gardeners and families, promotes our visionary project and showcases the many green groups active in the Hastings area - and thereby aids local wellbeing and pride of place.
