You'll have delegated responsibility for managing the budgets - operational and project - that are required to deliver this work and for protecting and enhancing the Trust’s assets and reputation.

Uniquely within the Surrey Hills you will oversee and manage the volunteer carpentry team and workshop at Landbarn farm. From generating timber, milling, storing through to project delivery and pricing. This fantastic team of skilled volunteers take on a huge array of carpentry work for the National Trust and other local groups.
