Public Engagement Producer

We have some pretty big questions to explore at the Trust. How can we ensure that everyone benefits from nature, beauty and history? How can we reach new audiences? As our Public Engagement Producer, you’ll champion innovation and create opportunities for more people to become involved in our work, across our channels and in the public realm.

You'll support the development of our approach to Public Engagement through delivering interventions and pilots, helping shape the future direction of this work. You will be instrumental in ensuring more people than ever can experience and connect with the National Trust on their own terms, wherever they are.

This role is offered on a 2-year fixed term contract or internal secondment opportunity.

What it's like to work here:You’ll be joining a team of creative and inspirations professionals who believe in our cause, in protecting and caring for places so people and nature can thrive. Many millions share our founding belief that nature, beauty and history are for everyone, for ever.

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 some travel to our head office to meet with colleagues and to carry out work.

What you'll be doing:Reporting to the Head of Public Engagement & Planning in Communications & Marketing, you'll lead the development, testing and delivery of our emergent Public Engagement work. With a small team, you'll work flexibly, delivering through others and collaborating with a range of partners to enhance our existing campaigns and create new outputs.

You'll work collaboratively across the organisation to ensure work is aligned with our strategic objectives and complements existing activity, influencing leaders to help embed Public Engagement into our operational and strategic approach.

You’ll push the boundaries of how people engage with and experience the National Trust. With a keen sense of current external trends in participation, creative interventions, experiential brand marketing and the cultural sector you’ll bring the outside in, keeping audience at the heart of our decision making.
