Summary Being a Visitor Experience Officer for the National Trust is all about people – connecting with them, inspiring them, and making sure they have the best possible day when they come to visit. 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 It's an exciting time to be working for the National Trust with the launch of our new strategy and a programme full of events for 2025. You’ll be reporting to the Senior Visitor Experience Officer, working in a small and enthusiastic team, at Stourhead - one of the busiest properties in the National Trust. Many of our events and activities take place at weekends, during school and bank holidays and outside of usual business hours, so this role will include working at these times on a rota basis. An 18th Century Palladian mansion with a world-famous landscape garden, its no surprise that Stourhead is one of our busiest and ‘best loved’ properties. It’s a centrepiece of the community and the high level of repeat regular visitors make it a hugely rewarding place to work. For more information about our property click here.
