Historic Royal Palaces is the independent charity that looks after the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace, the Banqueting House, Kew Palace and Hillsborough Castle & Gardens.

Department: Functions & Events

Home Palace: Hampton Court Palace

Status: Established/Permanent

Salary: £36,583 per annum

Days/Hours of work: Full time (36 hours per week including evenings and weekends as and when the events schedule requires it)

About The Role And About You

We are a team of people who love and look after six of the most wonderful palaces in the world. We create space for spirits to stir and be stirred. From weddings to corporate parties and charity galas, we need a dedicated Events Planner to help maximise the commercial potential of Hampton Court Palace.

This role is about communication as much as organisation. You’ll guide your portfolio of internal and external clients and suppliers through every aspect of the event planning process. Whether you’re focusing on... sales, organisational detail, financial documents (or anything in between) your contact will always have accurate information and ultimate confidence in your ability.

You must be a self-starter and a quick learner with the ability to hit the ground running. Possessing the ability to work on your own initiative, you must be flexible and adaptable, with the ability to engage personably with all stake holders. Someone who can work well in a team environment, you’ll also have excellent IT, communication, and interpersonal skills.

You’ll have proven experience of selling a venue and running events on an operational level. In-depth knowledge of the industry is essential and any insight into British history will stand you in good stead. Microsoft and database management skills will be required, and you also realise the importance of good teamwork.

Finally, you must be prepared to work flexible hours including evenings and weekends as and when the events schedule requires it.
