Experiences & Partnerships Curator

**INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY**

We’re looking for a creative expert who can encourage and support our local teams and projects, and help to lead the Trust’s approach to high-quality, audience led programming and experiences in London and South-East. You will help teams drive and diversify visits in response to audiences wants and needs.

This is a fixed term contract due to end when the postholder returns to the role. 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:You’ll be part of the Trust’s internal consultancy: a flexible resource of specialist skills and expertise. As one of a multidisciplinary team of experts, including curators, fundraisers, building surveyors and project managers, you’ll be working with others to help make things happen.

Your contractual place of work will be the National Trust office at Hughenden, or the nearest National Trust consultancy office to your home. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. We’ll talk about this in more detail at interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site for 40-60% of your working week.

What you'll be doing:You'll be the primary contact for a cluster of properties across the region as well as leading on a strategic area or visit growth programme, based on your existing expertise and skills. You’ll share insight into audiences, and creative ideas about how to meet their needs, with your colleagues at National Trust sites, helping them to develop appealing experiences for everyone.

Your day to day work may vary between supporting visitor growth, cultural programming and interpretation, but your expertise and knowledge of audiences will always be at the core of what you do.

You’ll be comfortable working both strategically and practically. You’ll develop positive relationships with colleagues across the Trust and with external partners, as part of a cultural network of practitioners.
