Harewood House Trust

Delicious, locally-sourced food and drink is a core part of a day out at Harewood, and we're looking for new team members to help us give our visitors a wonderful culinary experience. We've got several roles available in our Food + Beverage team, from chefs to managers to front of house team members. So if you'd like to create smiles like this by devising inspiring menus or delivering fantastic service, find out more at harewood.org/jobs.

This week the Events Team went a little further afield for a filming recce at one of Harewood's lesser-known filming locations. 📽 A hidden gem on the wider Harewood estate, Stockton Grange Farm is a firm favourite location for the Events Team. It can be spotted in the recently released 'Nandor and the Talking Mongoose'. (Talking mongoose not included with hire).

Reimagining Access at Harewood This week we were delighted to host a Design Team Meeting and a Focus Group, both dedicated to Access for our Reimagining Harewood project. We were able to share updated designs for the new visitor and interpretation centre in the Bakehouse and talk through wider plans for new gardens to the South and West of Harewood House and our adventure play area. Our guests all had lived experience which is vital to going beyond the legislation and really getting to the detail of user experience. We were joined by guests who could share their experience of visiting heritage attractions with visual and hearing impairments, with physical impairments and who were representing the Stoma-users community and the older community. We learned an enormous amount which will feed into our plans and we are incredibly grateful to all those people who joined us to share their thoughts and experience with enthusiasm and understanding. We are particularly grateful to David Burdus and Alan Mathews of Burdus Associates who did such a great job in leading the session. Lots of work to do but it was wonderful to hear how positive our guests were about progress so far!

We are looking for an ambitious Head Chef and a Sous Chef to join us. Imagine working at one of Yorkshire's finest country houses. Providing exceptionally high quality food and drink for our day visitors and occasional private dining experiences in our stunning state rooms. This is a rare opportunity for someone to come in and put their flair into the menu and venue, whilst celebrating local produce, including food from our Walled Garden. If you're passionate about food and delivering exceptional dining experiences, we want to hear from you! #chef #hospitalityjobs #foodanddrink #restaurant #finedining Full details are available on our website https://lnkd.in/gP5rquT
