ABOUT THE CAETANI CENTRE: A 125+ year old designated heritage site near the downtown core of Vernon, BC, the Caetani Centre houses artifacts, digital and video presentations, and displays focusing on the mysterious royal Italian Caetani family, their historic and artistic legacy in the North Okanagan, and their fascinating story of 1920s immigration to the region. The Centre encompasses a large 6,000 sq. foot heritage home/museum and is located on a 1.3 acre park-like property used for special events, festivals, programs and fundraising. The property also features several studio outbuildings used by working artists and an 800 sq. ft. art gallery housing the permanent collection of Sveva Caetani’s Recapitulation Series.

Other duties include assistance with guest admission and orientation, gift shop sales, volunteer and membership recruiting, fundraising, public relations, event set up and organization, and some business administration. General light duties for venue and garden maintenance may be required.

ABOUT YOU: You should have an advanced level and understanding of English (oral, reading and writing) and an intermediate level and understanding of Microsoft Office Word, spreadsheet and database programs, Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Suite, as well as online resources, digital presentation and video editing programs, documentation technology, and social media.
