The National Trust is committed to promoting and preserving those places of natural beauty and historic interest for which it has the privilege to be responsible for the benefit of the nation, for everyone for ever.
The Trust is proud of what has been achieved over the last 126 years and is determined to maintain those high standards of conservation, stewardship and curatorial care for which it has been recognised throughout the world. Its achievements have enabled the general public and the Trust's members and visitors to enjoy and appreciate the countryside, coastline, gardens, historic buildings and collections, all of which encapsulate so much of the history of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. There is a duty to tell that history in a complete, balanced and accurate way, and without judgement. The National Trust continues as a guardian of the past, and for the future, to uphold its duty to maintain and enhance what has been entrusted to its care.

What it's like to work here
Both ERH and HC are busy places, with no two days being the same. Both sites are very different: ERH is a medium sized, hidden-gem of a mansion, with beautiful gardens and a packed Weddings and Events offer, whilst HC is an outdoor site with a small mill, surrounded by a stunning woodland and a river flowing by.
As we are a small team, we work closely together across both sites, often needing to be flexible in our work to support each other by picking up different tasks.
This post supports our teams in making sure we keep our compliance record systems up to date, keeping our finance systems accurate and will involve working alongside both staff and volunteers.
