We’re looking for a new Business Partner to cover the London and South East and East of England Regions.

What it's like to work here:We are more complicated than we appear and we’re larger scale than you’d imagine. We’ve got passionate people in all our teams, and we’ve got so much more we want to achieve. We’re for ever, for everyone and we really mean that.

Your contractual location will be head office in Swindon, however there will be an opportunity to explore and agree hybrid working arrangements from Regional Hubs which strike the right balance for you and the Trust. The exact scope of the area you look after will be based upon where you live and the location of our current ORBP (Fire) colleagues. You will be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.

What you'll be doing:You'll be responsible for providing specialist fire safety advice on the ground to the properties you look after. You will enable operational staff to meet their fire safety and general compliance responsibilities.

You'll work within your region to develop a pragmatic approach to fire safety so that each Property General Manager can determine and plan for mitigating actions.
