What it’s like to work here

 The County Down Property Group’s three sites together represent some of the most significant cultural, natural and built heritage in Northern Ireland.

Mount Stewart boasts architectural gems including the neo-classical house and the Temple of the Winds, and stunning gardens. Castle Ward is a unique 18th-century mansion famed for its mixture of architectural styles and interiors complemented by the beautiful Victorian Garden and fantastic walking and cycling trails beside the lough or through sheltered woodlands. Rowallane Garden is one of the most beautiful in Northern Ireland featuring unusual plants, seasonal colour palettes and many striking features. It is ideal for leisurely walks, quick refreshments in the café or simply relaxing in nature.

Our Facilities Manager will play a key role as part of a team of over 150 staff members and 350 volunteers across County Down who have a shared sense of purpose in caring for these wonderful places together, providing a wide range of public benefit to our visitors and local communities.

Last year we welcomed nearly half a million visitors across all three sites and have ambitions to grow our appeal further.
