Worcester, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

Do you have a proven track record of helping to ensure the preservation and presentation of collections, sharing your work with visitors and bringing the history of collections to life. If so, then please read on.

This is a fixed term contract due to end when the previous employee returns from maternity leave. At this point we cannot confirm exactly how long this contract will last, but it is unlikely to be more than 12 months.

**What it's like to work here:This vacancy is included in a trial of the ‘Disability Confident’ scheme (level 1).**

Croome is a 730 acre estate, designed for the 6th Earl of Coventry in the 18th Century by the celebrated Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, who designed not only the landscape but Croome Court and other buildings too. After the building and much of the contents were sold in 1948, Croome Court became a Boy’s School under the Roman Catholic Church, then a country retreat for the International Society of Krishna Consciousness. After this the Court passed hands rapidly between owners, until the Croome Estate Trust and National Trust in partnership acquired the building, beginning a massive schedule of building works and artistic interventions.

Today we celebrate our impressive interiors, find new ways to present our collections and tell our stories in exciting exhibitions
