This range is provided by National Trust. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more.
Base pay range
We’re looking for an Estate Manager to join us in Cumbria, responsible for a diverse portfolio of our let estate in South East Cumbria and Morecambe Bay, and assist the Senior Estate Manager with the Central and East Lakes portfolio while supporting the management of our surrounding land.
We’re looking for someone who can create and deliver the ambition for our places, work closely with our partners, and build trust with our farm tenants to look after our farms while delivering our charitable purpose to restore nature and achieve our climate change ambitions.
As the key link with our tenants and collaborators, you will manage the portfolio professionally, ensuring proactive communication and industry knowledge are always present.
What it's like to work here
At the National Trust, we love our places. We take care of some of the nation’s most treasured landscapes, and protecting their health, beauty, and value is at the core of what we do.
You will report to the Senior Estate Manager and be part of a professional team of:
* Rural Asset Managers
* Lettings Officers
The team supports the management of our Let Estate portfolio, which, together with the relationships we have with our tenants, underpins the delivery of our conservation work, creating a healthy, resilient, natural environment for people and nature.
The role offers an interesting variety of work in an amazing location, with no two days being the same.
As this role covers South East Cumbria and Morecambe Bay, your contractual place of work will be the nearest National Trust consultancy office to your home. Our Regional Office is the Hollens, Grasmere, or the Sizergh Castle Estate office, whichever is closest. Our hybrid working policy allows you to balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places.
We’ll discuss this in more detail at the interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site for 40–60% of your working week.
This role requires travel to various locations in Cumbria and North Lancashire (some with very limited/no public transport available). Please consider this when applying for this vacancy.
What you'll be doing
As an Estate Manager, you’ll work with a wide range of conservation and heritage professionals, along with our tenants and other stakeholders, to deliver a modern and progressive land management approach that we need to achieve our strategic ambitions.
You’ll provide our property team with advice, guidance, and support on all land management matters, playing an integral part in the portfolio’s leadership team.
Who we're looking for
We are looking for someone who has:
* In-depth knowledge of land use, agriculture, asset management, land management, environmental issues, conservation, and sustainable development
* Communication skills, with the ability to build strong working relationships with fellow staff, tenants, and other stakeholders
* Accreditation from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
* Financial acumen with the ability to take responsibility for budgets and project management
* The ability to find solutions and deliver our ambitions
The package
The National Trust has the motto ‘For everyone, for ever’ at its heart. We’re working hard to create an inclusive culture where everyone feels they belong. It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
