Job description

We make adventure accessible, working together to overcome barriers and transform lives.

Situated just outside Kendal, between the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks, Bendrigg's accessible centre is ideally positioned to enable people to participate in a wide range of challenging activities such as climbing, caving and canoeing.

It’s universal – not the exclusive preserve of the advantaged and non-disabled. It’s for everyone, because we’re making sure it is. At Bendrigg, we have the setting and the scenery, the equipment and the expertise, the people and the passion. Together we have a limitless supply of adventure. With a limitless determination to improve people’s lives.

Skill Requirements

We are looking for committed and motivated individuals who have a real interest in our work. Although not essential, people with the following skills and/or experience will be of particular interest:

  • Finance and accounts management

  • Construction, building surveying and/or architecture

  • Experience in marketing and/or fundraising

    We would particularly welcome applications from disabled and ethnic minority candidates as these are currently underrepresented in this kind of role.

    • Expected Time Commitments Trustees are asked to attend four trustee (Council) meetings per year, one of which includes the AGM. Further support to the Trust and attendance to other committee meetings are encouraged, but it is recognised that these would be dependent on the individual’s personal circumstances and other commitments.

    Hybrid working - Meetings ideally take place ‘in person’ at the Bendrigg site (LA8 0NR) (minimum of two per year), however, online access can usually be made available if required.

    How to apply Interested applicants should send a CV and cover letter/email to our Centre Director, Nick Liley via email nick@bendrigg.org.uk . Nick would also be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. Please contact him on 01539 723766.
