As a Marketing Assistant I support my manager in promoting Ampleforth Abbey and all that we have to offer.

My role is great because it's so varied and allows me to be really creative. A monastery is such a unique thing to market - I really do learn something new everyday.

One thing I love about working here is the beauty of the place, I'm always in awe as I drive into work in a morning and it's amazing seeing the valley change through the seasons.

I also appreciate the flexibility, I can work from home or start a bit earlier/later if I need to.

The staff are so kind and really welcomed me when I first started over a year ago. The monks are also great to work with and are really cooperative when it comes to being filmed, photographed or interviewed for marketing purposes.
