Descrição da oferta de emprego

We're looking for an enthusiastic MRICS-qualified Rural Surveyor to work across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire, with a focus on portfolios in West Oxfordshire, Thames Valley and Cliveden.

You’ll help manage our let estate portfolio day to day while providing technical land management advice. Working within a friendly, skilled team, you’ll support the care and development of our extensive land and property holdings across the region.

The salary for this role is between £42,000 and £45,000.

What it's like to work here

The management of our tenancies and assets, and the relationships we build with our tenants, are fundamental to our £40m+ annual rental income and the delivery of our conservation work. In this role, you’ll build on these foundations, taking on varied and engaging casework that will help shape the future of the UK’s largest private landowner.

This role covers Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire, so your contractual place of work will be the Buscot & Coleshill Estate Office. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance home working with site visits and meetings at National Trust places. We'll talk about this in more detail at interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site for a minimum of three days per week.

What you'll be doing

If you enjoy varied and rewarding work, this role offers the chance to make a real impact across a diverse estate. No two days are the same - you’ll support day-to-day estate management while helping shape the future of our land and assets.

Your work will include areas such as commercial lettings, complex residential leases, management of agricultural tenancies and agri-environment schemes on in hand land, woodland creation and management, access and boundary matters, work with restrictive covenants, managing commons and working with commoners, easements and wayleaves and occasional acquisitions and disposals. You’ll champion best practice within a structured governance framework, provide clear advice, and build strong relationships with tenants, helping us care for and conserve our land for the future.

Who we're looking for

• A member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) (Rural Pathway)
• Knowledge of land use, agriculture, asset management, land management, environmental issues, conservation and sustainable development and understand how that translates to National Trust Strategy
• Strong verbal and written communication skills including influencing and negotiation
• The ability to analyse, interpret and resolve rural surveying problems using technical knowledge to implement workable solutions
• Strong demonstrable consulting skills of listening, building trust and acting to deliver a high-quality service
• The ability to work as part of a team to achieve the best results, demonstrating best practice and sharing ideas and thinking
• Demonstrates practical experience collaborating within structured project teams to achieve shared objectives.
• Understanding team dynamics, contributing effectively to collective goals, and adapting to different roles and responsibilities within a project environment.
