Hay Castle Trust is a young charity with big ambitions, and we’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us.

Hay Castle was built by a Medieval giantess and was most recently occupied by the self-declared King of Hay, who appointed his horse as Prime Minister. Rescued, restored, and renewed, Hay Castle now serves as a unique centre where centuries of Welsh heritage meet the creative spirit of Hay-on-Wye, and its surrounding rural communities. We’re steeped in history, but not stuck in it. We celebrate our years in ways that are sometimes playful, always surprising, thoroughly contemporary and often joyously offbeat.

We are not any old castle, and this is not any old job. As our Communications & Engagement Manager, you’ll have the chance to shape the role and make a real impact on how we connect with our audiences and build our community, both online and in person.

About the role

The overall purpose is to:

• Enhance, protect, and widen Hay Castle’s reputation among key audience groups
• Help to attract more visitors
• Engage and grow the Castle’s community (including online).
