What it's like to work here

We’re for ever, for everyone and we really mean that. We don’t want to stop at 5.5 million members, and we want everyone to feel welcome and enjoy access to our places, so we need to reach new audiences in ways that are meaningful and relevant to them without losing the hearts and minds of those that are already with us.

Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon and there will be an expectation for you to attend the office. However, there is flexibility on where you’re based at other times. You’ll be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.

What you'll be doing

You’ll research and deliver content for national marketing, communications, and our magazine and publishing programmes. By interpreting briefs creatively, you’ll source the best imagery, ensuring deadlines are met. You’ll maximise the use of our image library, negotiate discounts for external content, and identify where new content needs to be commissioned.

You’ll help raise imaging standards across the organisation, sharing best practices and occasionally leading training workshops. By inspiring and educating internal teams, you’ll highlight the power of imagery to engage, educate, and inspire, helping us communicate more effectively and inclusively.
