Marks Hall Estate has begun to deliver a new organisational growth strategy (2020-25) with a focus on environmental sustainability, public engagement and education. The Charity celebrates its 50th Anniversary in 2021 which will be a crucial stage in our development, and a busy public programme is planned.

The post holder will possess excellent time management, prioritisation and scheduling skills and be experienced in managing risk, and health and safety across multiple aspects of site operation.
A self-starter and finisher, and a team-player with lots of energy and a positive outlook, the Operations Director will be able to manage challenging public facing scenarios, make firm and well-balanced decisions, be hands-on across a range of tasks as needed, and able to balance a busy workload.
