What it's like to work here:The North Region of the National Trust is large, spanning from Manchester and Cheshire in the south of the region to the Scottish borders in the north.

Our systems have been set up to enable you to enjoy a hybrid working arrangement where you can choose the best working environment for the task in hand, _but this role does require a minimum of four half days working on-site _.

We're a flexible employer and supportive of helping you find a healthy work-life balance.


This is a role that fits into the bigger jigsaw of Regional Business Services Team and we can be flexible about the hours you'll work.
