Somerset County Cricket Club is a highly successful and varied organisation that hosts almost 50 days of First Class cricket, numerous Conferences and Events throughout the year as well as having an important role in the local community. We have 5,500 Members and crowds of 7,500 supporters for some matches.

The Person

We require an individual with fantastic administration skills who will support our Conference & Events Sales team by assisting with general administration duties. This will include data cleansing, performing mail merges and overseeing the post-booking process from finalising the customer requirements, communication with our Event Delivery team to reconciling the cost for invoicing. The person must also be willing to learn about the Ticketing and Membership processes at the Club, answering the general telephone line during busier periods.

As such the person will be required to develop an excellent relationship with the internal Commercial, Catering and Account staff as well as with our Corporate Customers. This is a demanding but varied role within a small and close knit team at a Club which has a strong ethos and camaraderie.  Please note there will be some weekend and evening work in line with our fixture list.
