15h Left: South West Regional Advisory Group Member

2 weeks ago


Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom NATIONAL TRUST Full time

Home to spectacular coastline, iconic archaeological sites, historic estates and houses, glorious gardens, great cities and incredible collections - the South West of England is varied and distinct.

Our Regional Advisory Group members are connected into the South West and its communities.

Our expert volunteers care about the benefits that we can bring to the South West's places and communities through our assets and delivery of our cause.

They advise on external context and use their experience to help us shape and deliver our plans.

About us

We look after an incredible array of places and assets, from houses and gardens to coast and countryside.

We exist because people share the idea that beautiful natural and historic places and access to them matters and enriches our lives in many ways.

In 2024 we are developing our new ten-year strategy after extensive consultation, which we will launch early next year.

We want as many people as possible to be able to access, feel welcome and connected to nature and heritage - to have an opportunity to be inspired and get involved.

We have clear priorities.

We want to work with external partners to restore nature and landscapes; to create experiences that delight and inspire; to improve access to green space; and to enable as many people as possible to feel welcome and connected to nature and heritage.

About the role


As a volunteer on our Regional Advisory Group, you will be one of up to eight South West people who advise our Regional Director and her team.

You will be a great communicator and advocate who can look at the bigger picture, bring different perspectives and ideas to our work, exploring opportunities and challenges, offering insight and practical advice that helps to deliver the Trust's strategy.

Specifically, we are looking for advice in the following areas:

Restoring nature:
We are looking for people with expertise in the current debates and opportunities around nature decline and conservation, land use and management, farming economy and green finance, or landscape scale partnership

History and Heritage:

We are looking for people who can help us to bring to life the collections and histories of our places for diverse audiences – new and existing.

To take new approaches to researching, interpreting, presenting and animating our places and collections to engage our visitors in different ways, recognising that our places have different meanings for different people.


Communities:

We are looking for people with insight and experience of engaging with diverse audiences, communities and practitioners, and building meaningful relationships through co-creation and delivery partnerships.

We are particularly interested in people who have experience of working with young people.

The role can sit alongside your other commitments. We'll need you for a minimum of five days a year to give us your valued input.

Depending on the external context, this could be in the form of virtual or face-to-face meetings, as an individual advisor or as part of a group, plus occasional workshops, events, webinars or visits.

About you

We're looking for people with ideas, connections and a track record of delivery:

  • You could be engaged in projects, networks and initiatives that complement the National Trust's work, so you'll understand what we're trying to do and know how to make it happen.
  • You could be working in a different sector and offer new insights on our work, and our current challenges and opportunities.
  • You will be a champion of inclusion and diversity.
  • You will be connected into local and stakeholder communities.
  • You will already understand the current economic, environmental and social trends that have an impact on the South West.
  • You want to make a real difference to the places and communities you love.
  • You are resident in the South West.
Interviews will take place in Bristol or by MS Teams on 27 June.
