Dunfield: Resident Site Caretaker
Location: Dunfield House, Kington
Terms: 40 Hours Per Week | £26,437 per annum
Contract: Full-Time, Permanent
Reporting to: Operations Director
Start date: Immediate start preferred
Application Deadline: 29th May 2026
Benefit: Onsite Accommodation (The Cottage) forming part of the overall remuneration package
The Heart of the Role:
Are you a "handy" person who loves the outdoors and takes pride in keeping things ship-shape?
Dunfield House is looking for a Resident Caretaker to live on-site and become the guardian of our beautiful 15-acre estate.
As part of our "2026 Strategy," we are moving from simply "maintaining" to "thriving." You will be the person who ensures the lights are on, the pool is sparkling, and the grounds are safe for the hundreds of children and community groups who call Dunfield their "home from home" each year.
What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Guardian of the Estate: Living on-site in the provided cottage, you’ll be our "eyes and ears," ensuring the site is secure and providing emergency support when groups are staying.
-
Keeping the Gears Turning: Handling day-to-day repairs, from fixing a leaky tap to painting a bedroom or clearing a gutter.
-
The Great Outdoors: Mowing the lawns, managing the woodland paths, and keeping the 15 acres looking like the sanctuary our guests expect.
-
Pool & Plant: Taking charge of our private indoor pool (full training provided) to ensure it is always clean and safe for our guests.
-
Duty Management: Joining our rotating "Manager on Duty" team, greeting guests and ensuring they have everything they need for a perfect stay.
-
Emergency On-Call: When resident on-site and not on a scheduled shift, act as the designated emergency point of contact for guests.
-
Boundary Management: Work with the Operations Director to implement and display clear "Emergency Guidelines" for guests, ensuring "on-call" status is reserved strictly for life-safety or significant building-integrity issues (e.g., fire, flood, total power failure).
-
Response Protocol: Provide immediate assessment of the emergency and, where necessary, coordinate with external emergency services or the Operations Director.
Who We Are Looking For:
-
A Practical Problem-Solver: You’re someone who sees a loose hinge or a flickering light and fixes it before anyone even notices.
-
A Welcoming Presence: You understand the "Dunfield Edge"—that we are a place of hospitality and kindness. You’ll be a friendly face to our guests.
-
A Self-Starter: Much of your work will be independent. We need someone who can manage their own "to-do" list and prioritize what needs doing.
-
Community Minded: You understand that Dunfield is a charity with a mission, and you take pride in playing your part to keep it open.
Why Dunfield?
-
New Project: You will be joining us at the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Dunfield Houses' long history, moving the Grade II listed building from a volunteer led operation to a professionally managed team of stewards.
-
Living at Dunfield: This role comes with the benefit of living in The Cottage on-site. It’s a unique opportunity to live in a stunning rural setting.
This isn't just a job!
It’s a lifestyle choice for someone who loves the peace and responsibility of estate living.
Come and visit Dunfield ...and experience how good the world can be!

Prospectus is delighted to be supporting our client in a search for a highly skilled Senior Project Manager - Fulfilment to lead the end‑to‑end transformation of fulfilment operations. This is a critical, high‑stakes programme to transition a long‑standing fulfilment provider that underpins fundraising campaigns, banking and donor communications, warehouse operations, merchandise, health information distribution and call handling. The role will safeguard over £2m of annual income while ensuring continuity, compliance and an excellent supporter experience.
As the senior delivery lead, you’ll independently design and drive the programme from discovery and tender through to supplier mobilisation and stabilisation. Given the charity’s longstanding relationship with its current provider, you’ll need to be investigative, intuitive and comfortable operating where documentation may be incomplete.
You’ll act as the central project manager and driver, coordinating multiple teams and complex dependencies across Fundraising, Supporter Care, Technology, Finance and Governance, while managing supplier relationships with authority and confidence. With no direct line management, this role relies on influence, judgement and the ability to challenge timelines and expectations constructively, particularly where pace could introduce unnecessary risk.
This opportunity suits an experienced programme or fulfilment leader who has successfully transitioned complex operational services before and understands the risks inherent in income processing and supporter journeys. You may come from the charity or commercial sector, but you’ll bring credibility, resilience and a sharp eye for process improvement and opportunity. If you thrive in ambiguity, can balance urgency with rigour, and want to deliver a programme that truly matters, we’d love to hear from you. Hybrid working applies, with some London Bridge attendance and supplier site visits.
To apply please submit your CV only in the first instance. You may also be asked to complete a supporting statement if you do progress further in the recruitment process.
