Summary

***INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY PLEASE***

Are you someone who cares deeply about achieving high standards, and helping to make beauty and history accessible to all? If so, you could become a Collections and House Officer at Kingston Lacy, bringing to life the history and significance of this much-loved place. 



What it's like to work here

The outstanding art collection is one of the main attractions to this beautiful Italian-inspired mansion. As one of the National Trust’s ‘treasure houses’, the 45 strong team have exciting times ahead as they embark on major conservation projects to preserve this 8,500 estate and its rare collection of artefacts. A Japanese garden and tearoom and community growing spaces are also among the key attractions at Kingston Lacy. You will report to the Collections and House Manager.

The property has a rural location, so it’s likely you will require your own transport to get here.
