Summary

***INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY PLEASE***
We protect and care for places so people and nature can thrive. We look after hundreds of houses and close to a million objects, along with vast areas of coastline, countryside and green spaces, for everyone’s benefit. With our staff, members, volunteers and supporters, we’re the biggest conversation charity in Europe.

What it's like to work here

The Trust’s approach is aligned to the Association for Project Management (APM) – we’re active members - and past winners of Project Management Company of the Year.

You will 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

Joining the Project & Programme Management Office (PPMO), you’ll provide specialist advice and expertise on projects and programmes to support the delivery of the National Trust's strategy. Using a hands-on approach, you’ll be a lead on ensuring complex projects, grouped projects and programmes are set up to succeed. 
You’ll use your experience of working on projects and programmes that focus on delivering benefits for the public. You’ll have a good understanding and substantial experience of setting up complex projects and programmes for success – ensuring the benefits are well developed. 
You’ll use your experience to support the development of capability such as delivering training, developing new ways of working and embedding new systems and processes.
