About Silverstone Heritage Experience

Silverstone has been synonymous with motor racing since the mid-20thcentury and is now one of the most famous sporting venues in the world. However, Silverstone has a much wider story to tell and its place in history was established well before the circuit was constructed. In late 2016 we were delighted to have been successfully granted £9.1 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund to open the Silverstone Heritage Experience (SHE) to half a million visitor a year in 2019. The SHE will tell the whole Silverstone story through the creation of a Collections and Research Centre, Learning Studio and a series of site tours, programmes and activities. Like many modern attractions the SHE will defy conventional description, being part museum, part research centre, part visitor attraction, part tourist destination.

We are seeking a pro-active and professional Project Assistant to support the work of the, currently, small project team, in particular that of the CEO. This role offers the chance to be involved in numerous aspects of the development of a brand new attraction at Silverstone Circuit.
