Job description

* * Internal Applicants only*

Our colleagues work for the National Trust in many locations and sometimes don't have easy access to internal vacancy listings. Using the internet ensures we can reach as many of our colleagues as possible. We appreciate that this can be frustrating for external talent. Do note that some roles are released externally after an initial period

If you're brilliant at organisation and creating order, you love working with people, upholding high standards in service and presentation, and thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, then this could be the role for you.

We're looking for a Business Services Co-ordinator to join us at Bath Assembly Rooms as we prepare to move back into the building and re-open to the public.

Salary: £27,612 per annum

Contract: This is a fixed-term role until 30-Oct-2028, allowing you to help shape processes ahead of opening, and refine them once they've been put to the test.

Hours/ working pattern: Full-time, 37.5 hours per week

Interview dates: 22nd & 26th October 2026

What it's like to work here

It's an exciting time to join the National Trust team at Bath Assembly Rooms. This beautiful Grade 1 listed building, known for music, parties, dancing and entertainment during Bath's Georgian heyday, will reopen in 2027 following two years of a major building project and the installation of an innovative new visitor attraction.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to shape processes and procedures from scratch and help set the property up for success. You'll report to the Visitor Operations Manager and work closely with the Facilities Manager to identify and plan for the unique operational needs of this busy building.

Bath Assembly Rooms is part of the National Trust Bath Property Group which also includes Dyrham Park, Prior Park Landscape Garden, Bath Skyline and Bathampton Meadows.

What you'll be doing

This is a busy place, there's a lot going on and you'll find that no two days are the same.

Generally, you'll be supporting day-to-day operations as we prepare to move back in the Bath Assembly Rooms from our temporary office at Prior Park Landscape Garden. You'll also be supporting the wider project, and working on plans for the future operation of Bath Assembly Rooms. Your advice and experience will be sought after by others beyond the office team.

You’ll be a champion of best practice when it comes to business support, and will confidently challenge the status quo when you think there's a better way of doing something.

Who we're looking for

We'd love to hear from you if you're:

• experienced in giving business support, along with responsibility for facilities or office supervision
• good at communicating, both in writing and speaking
• able to work as part of a team, but also on your own initiative
• flexible and focused on people
• happy to multi-task and manage your own priorities and workload
• confident user of IT efficiency tools, Trust systems, and wider Microsoft office suite such as Lists and Planner in addition to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

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.
