About The Role


At the National Memorial Arboretum, we believe in building on potential. The Arboretum is the UK’s year-round centre of Remembrance and part of the Royal British Legion.

Successful candidates will possess excellent IT skills, particularly in MS Office and digital portals, and demonstrate strong organisational and communication abilities. You should be adept at influencing and negotiating with diverse stakeholders while maintaining a high level of professionalism. This position requires a motivated individual who can manage sensitive conversations with empathy and confidentiality, continuously striving to improve systems and processes within the team.
