The London Borough of Harrow is seeking a proactive and customer-focused Events Coordinator to join the team at Headstone Manor & Museum, a unique heritage site comprising four historic listed buildings, including the highly regarded Great Barn wedding and function venue.

With excellent communication skills and a passion for working with people, the post holder will serve as the main point of contact for a portfolio of clients, managing enquiries, conducting site viewings, and guiding customers through every stage of their journey, from initial enquiry through to planning, coordination, and successful delivery of their event.
