The National Horseracing College seeks to employ an Engagement Assistant to join its enthusiastic, vibrant and hardworking team. As one of only two specialist horseracing colleges in the UK, this independent training provider delivers training for people in both racing and other equine industries. Located in the scenic grounds of a private estate near Doncaster, it achieved Ofsted Grade 2 in 2022.

This hybrid role will require some time to be spent at the college. Flexibility is essential with regard to remote work. A willingness to travel throughout the UK, including overnight stays, evening and occasional weekend work is required.

We offer a competitive remuneration package including access to a pool car, a mobile phone and IT equipment, an initial holiday entitlement of 25 days plus bank holidays and a contributory pension scheme. Applicants must have a full, clean driving licence.
