High Wycombe, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

As Assistant Director for Operations, you’ll be jointly leading our operational delivery in the London & South East region.

The varied landscapes and businesses you’ll lead in this senior role will make sure no two days are ever the same. Covering Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Bedfordshire, you'll manage a wide-reaching team working across many National Trust places.

The salary for this role is circa £67,500 depending on skills, knowledge and experience.

What it's like to work here:Reporting to the Regional Director, you'll be a part of the regional management team, working together to bring the National Trust’s strategy to life in all the places you’re responsible for.

As this role covers the London & South East region, your contractual place of work will be the nearest regional National Trust consultancy office or property to your home. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. We’ll talk about this in more detail at interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site for 40-60% of your working week.

What you'll be doing:First and foremost, you're a leader. You’ll lead a team of general managers who look after a wide variety of Trust places, from historic houses and their collections, listed parks and gardens to historic landscapes and coastline. You’ll support, coach and mentor your team, helping them to make the best of the places in their care, and to give a great day out to everyone who visits them.

You won't just be working with your team, but with colleagues from across the Trust. You’ll be building and developing positive relationships to help the Trust achieve more throughout the region.

You'll lead the operations right across your diverse area, working to fulfil the Trust’s conservation priorities, and finding new ways to share our work and vision with people. You’ll be leading large projects, working with specialists from all areas of the Trust.

The Trust was founded on the belief that nature, beauty and history are for everyone, so you’ll be championing our priority of making the Trust an inclusive place to work, and finding new ways to make sure everyone feels welcome at the places you look after.

Who we're looking forWe’d love to hear from you if you’re:

- strong on inclusive leadership skills, able to coach and mentor a widely dispersed team
- experienced in leading complex and varied operational teams
- able to build and develop mutually beneficial relationships with external partners
- experienced in successfully leading a wide range of projects and programmes
- knowledgeable, or curious, about historic and natural environments and the challenges of managing visitors and conservation
- confident with financial planning and budgeting
- a leader for inclusion, who finds ways to create an inclusive culture

The packageThe National Trust has the motto ‘For everyone, for ever’ at its heart. We’re working hard to create an inclusive culture, where everyone feels they belong. It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
- Substantial pension scheme of up to 10% basic salary
- Free entry to National Trust places for you, a guest and your children (under 18)
- Tax-free childcare scheme
- Rental deposit loan scheme
- Season ticket loan
- EV car lease scheme
