Life at Goodwood
Welcome to a company where ideas are encouraged and talent and dedication are rewarded.
Only at Goodwood
Working at Goodwood is unlike working anywhere else.
With 12,000 acres of South Downs National Park to explore you will have more than your requisite dose of fresh country air. But life will be far from slow-paced. Becoming part of our team means that there’s never a dull moment and every day will be a challenge. Working for a family, not a corporate name, offers an escape from bureaucracy and the chance to unleash your creativity. With plans and investment in the future, not just for the next few years but for the next few hundred years, you will be working with purpose. Although we like to work hard, there is always time to have fun - we offer a whole host of staff events from thank you lunches to the legendary Christmas blow-out, and the Duke’s garden party for family and friends.

Career Development
Just as Goodwood aims to be the ‘World’s leading luxury experience’ for our customers, we also aim to be the ‘World’s best place to work’ for our team.
We take learning and development seriously and want our team to be the best they can be, whatever their role, skills or background. A wide range of programmes are available for all of our Teams to take advantage of (including everything from Problem Solving, to Time Management, Presenting with Impact, Train the Trainer, Mental Health Awareness, Negotiation Skills and the Goodwood Management Academy to name but a few). Together with the support of a friendly and specialised People and Development team, you will have access to many varied development opportunities to enable you to learn and grow both personally and professionally. We are lucky to have huge number of loyal staff, many of whom who have worked with us for over twenty years. Once you become part of the Goodwood family we want to keep you motivated and fulfilled in your position here.
Sustainability with passion
We are passionate about developing the estate in a sustainable way and work closely with the local community and local charities.
As stewards of the land, it’s really important that we’re responsible for the countryside and architecture over the long term; the estate has been here for over three hundred years and we are planning for the next three hundred.
We have one of the only self-sustaining organic farms in Europe and our restaurant Farmer, Butcher, Chef is a showcase for our award-winning home-grown organic produce, which includes beef, pork, lamb, milk, cheese and ale. Our forestry department are continually developing wildlife initiatives and all our food waste is recycled into energy. We encourage our employees to be involved in all aspects of sustainability, in every business area throughout the year.

Much more
From parties to charity events and so much more
Working for Goodwood is more than a job, you join a family of dedicated and passionate people that love what they do. It’s like no other place I’ve ever worked, no day is the same and the events they put on are just wow!
Goodwood rewards you in a way very few employers can. You feel part of a big family, which in essence is exactly what it is.
Doing what I love for such a diverse and exciting company makes it even more rewarding. I am fortunate to work alongside many passionate and skilled people and learn something new every day.
I joined Goodwood nearly 7 years ago now as a casual member of staff and have progressed from there to MCC events co-ordinator, café supervisor and now MCC Manager. There are so many doors open and paths to progress a career here. Every day is different and I love playing a part in delivering the brilliant events. The variety of people around the estate is what really makes it for me.
The most important part of working at Goodwood is being given the support and opportunity to progress
It’s brilliant to work somewhere that is creativity driven, at Goodwood ideas are embraced and opinions are asked. There’s always an incredible buzz!
I wake up every morning excited about the working day ahead
I have worked for Goodwood for almost 10 years, first as a casual marshal and now as Motor Circuit Operations Manager. It never feels like coming to work, just coming to a place where everyone has fun. We get to do some amazing things and nothing beats the feeling of going home knowing our customers have experienced something special.
