Do you come alive when you’re outdoors, surrounded by curious young minds and the magic of the past? Do you love creating unforgettable experiences for children—especially the kind that involve adventure, imagination and a dash of Roman history? If so, this role has your name on it. We’re looking for an enthusiastic, organised and creative Lunt Roman Fort Camps Coordinator (Fixed Term) to bring our legendary children’s camps to life.
