This highly strategic role will play an important part within the portfolio’s Leadership Team, supporting the General Manager across the portfolio with priority aspects of community engagement and participation. You’ll do this by sharing key messages, information and decision making at the right time in the right way to keep key collaborators and everyone who loves to visit locally involved and engaged in what’s happening. As well as ensuring our onsite team are fully engaged and involved with our projects, our ways of working and the impact of the work we do with the local community.

What it's like to work here

This is where you’ll come in on a day-to-day basis.

You’ll develop and lead on all strategic aims and plans related to working with collaborators in our communities, with the support of our Visitor Operations Managers, Countryside Managers and Project Managers.

You’ll also use your strong people skills to establish effective working relationships with property colleagues, as well as with our partners and collaborators in communities across the Northumberland Coast & Hadrian’s Wall Country.
