The City Council has begun hiring people to join the new team at Nottingham Castle.

The historical site is set to reopen for events to mark the King’s Coronation in May. 41 new jobs have been advertised for the City Council’s operation of the castle, including site manager, operations manager, visitor assistant and roles in catering and retail.

They are being advertised on Indeed with salaries ranging from £36,298 to £21,968 across different job descriptions.

However, the board has listed instructions that need to be adhered to avoid Government intervention or a repeat of the same mistakes made. The council were told to “determine the future of Nottingham Castle in line with the commercial strategy and without exposing the council to inappropriate risk.”

The council have been given a deadline of June 30 for this to be complete. The castle was placed into liquidation in November 2022 and it was revealed that just keeping the building maintained and also, the loss of income had cost the council £593,00.

Nottingham City Council’s Director for Sport & Culture, Hugh White, said: “We’re pleased about the reopening of Nottingham Castle and that as part of this great news, we can announce a number of fantastic job opportunities.

“This is a great chance to be involved in the next exciting part of this landmark site’s 1,000-year history. There are great new features on-site since the redevelopment, including the new Robin Hood Adventures and Rebellion Galleries and Hoods Hideout Adventure Playground, and we’re developing a programme of events to attract local people and visitors from far and wide.

“We are looking for people with passion and enthusiasm for Nottingham and its rich history, and an ability to convey that to our customers. We would welcome applications from anyone who has worked previously at the Castle.”
