Truro, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

Are you someone who cares deeply about achieving high standards, and helping to make beauty and history accessible to all? Would you like to be part of a dedicated team working at one of Cornwall's best loved properties? If so, you could become a Collections and House Officer at Trelissick, bringing to life the history and significance of this much-loved place.

What it's like to work here:Trelissick House isn't your typical National Trust house. Open to the public since 2013, the house is host to a modest collection and has been used as a flexible space ever since. In 2022, a number of front facing rooms were transformed into seating space for Trelissick Tea Room, allowing visitors to enjoy refreshments while taking in the grandeur of the house and the spectacular views of the Fal estuary.

Today the house is a dynamic space that is host to changing displays, usage and ways of sharing the story of Trelissick. It's an open-minded and collaborative space in which our staff and volunteer teams work together, with visitor enjoyment at the heart of all we do.

What you'll be doing:As the Collections and House Officer, you’ll be responsible for opening the house, and making sure there are enough people in the right places to give visitors a consistently good experience.

You'll be responsible for routine conservation, preventive conservation and the annual programme of deep cleaning. Your attention and expertise will help to ensure excellent standards of care throughout the house.

You’ll use preventive conservation methods to improve how we look after everything, and how we present it to visitors. You'll manage a team of volunteers on a day-to-day basis. And you’ll be sharing stories about the past with anyone who’s interested, as well as your personal experience of working here.

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

- someone who puts people first, and who knows what’s needed to make sure everyone receives great service
- able to work as part of a team, with skills in day-to-day supervision and management
- good at talking to, and getting on with, all kinds of people
- comfortable with managing costs and spending
- full of ideas about how to make spaces and objects accessible to more visitors

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.
