This location is isolated, so you'll need to ensure you have transport to get here, as the property can't be accessed using public transport.

The Cliveden Portfolio is a fast-paced environment with new challenges every day. You'll be working on Common land at the heart of the local community and the wider estate of Cliveden House, one of the busiest properties in the National Trust.

The role has a practical focus so is all about being outside and delivering management to preserve and enhance the places under our care. This includes access work, habitat conservation and ensuring sites are well presented. You may be working on your own or with other members of staff and will regularly lead volunteer teams on a variety of tasks. Whatever you're doing, you'll ensure it's undertaken safely.

You'll be required to work some weekends, bank holidays and evenings.
