Partnerships Coordinator - Volunteer Opportunity
The Kent and East Sussex Railway is not just about steam trains; it's a journey back in time, a living story of the Rother Valley during the first half of the twentieth century. As a charitable organisation, our core values revolve around reciprocity – where visitors exchange their payment for a memorable experience, volunteers invest their time and passion, and others offer support, grants, and gifts. In the midst of societal changes and the modern digital era, we are on a mission to preserve and expand this unique heritage.
The Role: Partnerships Coordinator

Showcase: Be the ambassador of KESR, presenting our unique offerings and values.

Why This Role Matters
We are at a crossroads, where the charm of steam meets the challenges of the digital age. To keep our heritage alive and thriving, we need someone who sees beyond the tracks – someone who understands that our story is not just about trains but about connections, collaborations, and community.
