Summary
**Important notice**
In line with our redeployment policy, we’ll prioritise applications from employees who are under formal notice of redundancy.
If you’re brilliant at organisation and creating order, and you love working with people, upholding high standards in service and presentation, then this could be the role for you.
We’re looking for a Business Services Co-ordinator to join us at Carding Mill Valley. This role is a key member of the property team with regular duty management shifts during the week and at least one weekend a month.
You'll need to work some weekends and bank holidays, to work outside sometimes, and to support and sometimes travel to other National Trust sites.
What it's like to work here
Covering as much as 2,000 hectares of heather-covered hills with stunning views of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Welsh hills, this is a working common and is an important place for wildlife, geology and archaeology. There are paths for walking, cycling and horse riding, you can even drive to the top of the hill to take in the views. In Carding Mill Valley there are excellent visitor facilities including a tea-room and car parking.
What you'll be doing
This is a very busy place, there’s a lot going on and you’ll find that no two days are the same.
Generally, you’ll be supporting day-to-day operations, and being the first person that people see when they come into the office. Your advice and experience will be sought after by others beyond the office team.
You'll be a champion of best practice when it comes to business support, and will confidently challenge the status quo when you think there’s a better way of doing something.
