About Wentworth Woodhouse

In the heart of South Yorkshire, a giant of the cultural world is being reawakened. Once a political, social and economic powerhouse, today it is being brought back to life as a cultural, creative and community-driven hub.

Currently undergoing one of the most exciting and complex heritage regeneration projects of a lifetime, Wentworth Woodhouse is now looking to build the commercial foundations to sustain and expand its impact for generations to come.

About the role

We're looking for a commercially-minded innovator to join the Senior Leadership Team. This is a newly created role that will shape and deliver a bold commercial strategy across trading activities, including:

• F&B, hospitality and catering (on-site cafes, afternoon tea, events catering)
• Retail (gift shop and bespoke product lines)
• Weddings, corporate and charity events
• Location hire for film and TV productions
• Visitor experience and front-of-house operations

You'll lead the development of a dynamic, mission-driven commercial offer that reflects values, enhances visitor experience, and supports the organisation's charitable purpose. This is an exceptional opportunity to make your mark, working for a nationally significant heritage site.

Who we're looking for

You're an experienced commercial leader with significant experience of food and beverage (F&B) and hospitality.

You'll need a proven ability to grow income, manage multiple revenue streams, and lead high-performing teams. In your toolkit, we'd love to see:

We'd love to hear from you - please get in touch with a copy of your CV or profile. If your experience meets the brief, then Amelia at Charity People will reach out to tell you more and explain how to apply.

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.

The Head of Service Development is a crucial role for the organisation.

All of our services are overseen by highly skilled managers. We are seeking a leader who will allow our managers a high level of autonomy, valuing the skill that the teams bring whilst providing effective support where needed as well as strategic vision for the services.

Linking your strategic vision to organisational goals, you’ll devise integrated marcomms and engagement plans to deliver direct marketing initiatives that enhance our brand, engage and build a loyal supporter base, and meet income targets.

A key part of your role will be to amplify inspiring stories of the communities we work with in rural Africa. These stories are vital to evidence the impact that innovative agricultural practices and local support have on smallholder farmers who transform their livelihoods and lives. And what makes our communities uniquely different is their commitment to pass on their newly gained knowledge, skills and produce to fellow farmers, creating a powerful ripple effect of positive and sustainable change.

This approach to working together is also what binds our global teams. So as well as being a strong leader, you’ll also be proactive in collaborating across fundraising teams and adept at crafting internal and external communications to achieve our objectives.

This is a pivotal role that needs to confidently balance building the brand with attracting and retaining donors, and strategic leadership with hands on implementation. 

This involves designing and delivering co-produced and high-impact programmes that support people facing financial insecurity, influence systemic change, and align with the Turn2us 2023–2028 strategy.

The role will lead the Edinburgh Trust team to ensure programme design prioritises equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging (EDIB), and builds strong community partnerships.
