Otley Town Council is looking to appoint a Programme Manager to oversee its Otley 800 year of celebration, an upcoming celebration marking two significant milestones in the town's history, funded in partnership with The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The Programme Manager will oversee the development and delivery of the Otley 800 programme, ensuring that the celebration is true to the events which inspired it, is safely and successfully delivered and involves a large and diverse cross-section of the community.
