Swindon, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

We have an exciting opportunity for a Programme Officer to work on a transformation programme involving the most significant houses and collections in the National Trust’s care.

The National Trust looks after places that contain the work of some of the world’s most recognised and celebrated artists, architects, designers and master craftsmen and were homes to some of the most revered individuals in British history such as Winston Churchill, Bess of Hardwick, and Beatrix Potter.

Working as a key member of the programme team, you will support the Senior Programme Manager in all aspects of programme management, ensuring that there are good systems in place that are fit for purpose, and developing these where required. You'll also project manage some small/medium projects within the programme.

This is a two-year fixed term contract, and we'll consider flexible working patterns.

What it's like to work here:This is an exciting time to be working at the National Trust. Our houses and collections are much loved by our existing visitors. We wish build on this success by both improving our offer for those that already visit and by making our places relevant and accessible for all.

The National Trust is full of people who are passionate about nature, history and beauty. The Programme Officer is a national role within the Curation and Experiences Directorate. The National Trust is a matrix organisation, so you’ll be able to draw on the skills and talents of other consultancy staff who are specialists in every field of our work. You will also work directly with 28 properties which are distributed across England, Northern Ireland, and Wales.

Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon, however there will be an opportunity to explore and agree hybrid working arrangements which strike the right balance for you and the Trust. The role will involve travel to our head office to meet with stakeholders and to carry out work.

What you'll be doing:Your primary role will be to ensure that we have excellent systems in place to provide great programme management and support the way we use these. Working closely with the Senior Programme Manager, you will be involved in almost all aspects of a complex programme, helping to ensure that it runs efficiently and delivers its aims. This will include developing robust systems to track results and measure benefits, leading on the delivery of our communications strategy, and managing some small/medium projects within the programme.

Who we're looking forYou can view the full role profile for this role in the document attached. You don't need to have all of the knowledge, skills and experience listed in the role profile; this is just to provide a full picture of what is possible. For this position we’re looking for someone who has:

- An understanding of programme and/or project management principles and practice - including project management lifecycles, processes, practices and governance requirements
