Public Programming Operations Technician (Events)

Overview of the Role

We are looking for a driven and motivated Public Programming Operations Technician to join our team at RHS Wisley. The Public Programming Operations Technician plays a key role in supporting our Public Programming Team Leader, by coordinating and delivering the operational and logistical elements of our Public Programmes and Events. Responsibilities include liaising with internal teams and external stakeholders (such as contractors and suppliers), supporting venue setup and breakdown, and upholding excellent health and safety standards through the preparation and review of Risk Assessments and other H&S documentation.

The role also involves working on event days, often overseeing a team of casual staff to ensure activities run smoothly and to a high standard. This is a fast‑paced, hands‑on position that requires strong organisational skills, effective communication, and exceptional attention to detail.

To work for the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is to join a thriving charity, whose mission is to be there for everyone on their lifelong adventure with gardening. Everything we do is built on the transformational power of gardening – and the benefits it brings to people, places and our planet.

And we couldn’t do this without our people. We’re proud of the knowledge, enthusiasm and ideas that each one of our team members brings. From working across our social media channels, to volunteering in the RHS Gardens, from serving customers in our garden centres to running national marketing campaigns, we believe that every member of the RHS team should have the opportunity to make a difference. Our careers portal here provides a comprehensive overview of what we offer, the teams that work at the RHS and our great benefits.
