This is where you’ll come in on a day-to-day basis.

You’ll develop and lead on all strategic aims and plans related to working with collaborators in our communities, with the support of our Visitor Operations Managers, Countryside Managers and Project Managers.

You’ll also use your strong people skills to establish good working relationships with property colleagues, as well as continuing to forge great relationships with our partners and collaborators in communities across the Northumberland Coast & Hadrian’s Wall Country.

Who we're looking for:

  • Well organised and adaptive
  • Have a positive ‘can do’ attitude
  • Experience of the leadership in developing staff and volunteers with their confidence & capabilities in these strategic areas
  • Extensive experience in relationship management
  • An understanding of how to discuss, inform and engage stakeholders with our strategic aims
