Help shape the future of Derbyshire's countryside
Location: Across South Derbyshire's flagship countryside destinations, including Elvaston Castle Country Park, Shipley Country Park and Derbyshire's trails network.
We're looking for a confident and proactive Enterprise Co-ordinator to help develop and manage commercial opportunities across some of Derbyshire's most valued countryside, heritage and visitor destinations.
Working as part of our Enterprise Team, you'll play a key role in ensuring that commercial activities support our wider objectives for conservation, community engagement and sustainable income generation.
This is a varied role that combines commercial awareness with practical decision-making. You'll work with event organisers, businesses, community groups and partners to assess proposals, develop opportunities and ensure activities are delivered in a way that protects and enhances our sites while providing high-quality visitor experiences.
Whether reviewing applications for events, supporting commercial agreements, identifying new income streams or helping develop future opportunities, you'll be at the heart of balancing enterprise activity with the needs of our parks, heritage assets, visitors and local communities.

- Has experience in events, tourism, leisure, commercial operations, venues or a similar environment.
- Has a working knowledge of event licensing requirements and relevant legislation.
- Understands health and safety requirements, with experience or knowledge of risk assessment processes being advantageous.
