You will be a core member of a very small but friendly Visitor Experiences team who are passionate about bringing engaging stories to life from across the portfolio for a wide range of local and national audiences. You\'ll be making sure that we\'re sharing the best stories we can, with a focus on spreading the word about places to visit and letting people know about the Trust’s conservation work.

• experienced in writing and speaking clearly
• someone who puts people first, and understands why great customer service matters
• skilled in working with IT (including Microsoft Office)
