This is a permanent, full time opportunity. 

Salary circa £50,000 to £54,000. There may be some room for negotiation or a little support with a relocation. 

We may be able to fund CAAV exams for the right candidate.

What it's like to work here

Our busy, expanding team specialises in rural estate management and works together to get the job done. You’ll be a key member of the team as well as working with other Estate Managers across the region.

Building on established strong foundations, you’ll take on unique, interesting estate management work and associated projects and be instrumental in delivering the vision for these portfolios.

We’re offering you the opportunity for hybrid working, without the pressure of fee earning.

What you'll be doing

No two days are the same for a National Trust Estate Manager, and the variety this brings is what makes it so challenging and exciting. You could be helping a tenant farmer discover new value from a more sustainable approach to their business. You might also be part of a team of specialists mapping out ways to make our landscapes more resilient to change. Or you could be working with consultants on a major maintenance or renovation project for an historic estate building.

This role is equivalent to associate level or higher.
