Volunteering & Community Manager - Exeter

Summary

We're looking for a Volunteering & Community Manager to join our property team in Killerton. You'll support volunteer managers across the property with improving the volunteer experience and increasing support in targeted ways. You'll support our community engagement and partnerships, sometimes with a volunteering focus. Working with property colleagues you'll ensure our volunteering offer grows and develops. Capable of managing complex relationships you'll lead for greater engagement with our communities. 
We're a busy property with nearly 450 volunteers working in every area of our operation, so occasional weekend and Bank Holiday work are required as part of this role. You'll be required to work one weekend per month. 

What it's like to work here

Fashion-famous and full of colour, at 6,400 acres, Killerton is one of the National Trust’s largest special places and here we employ over 130 people. Located close to the vibrant city centre of Exeter and within the Greater Exeter Growth Point & Clyst Valley Regional Park, the 18th century house and parklands benefits from free parking and good transport links. Its size and scale, fabulous views and focus on providing more space for people and nature makes Killerton a truly wonderful place to work. And with a new National Trust strategy being launched in 2025, we’re looking for new opportunities to inspire more people and involve them in our work.
