With your help we can share our charity work in caring for the nation's heritage and landscapes, making them accessible to all.

What it's like to work here

Popular Felbrigg Hall is one of the most elegant country houses in East Anglia. The rolling landscaped park with its lake, woods and waymarked trails is great for family days out and even boasts 'buggy-friendly' walking routes. The fine walled garden grows flowers for the house, as well as vegetables for the local community. Roles within Felbrigg Hall’s team are highly sought after, and the team pride themselves on their commitment to the estate.

We welcome flexible working and are happy to discuss a pattern that works for you. The role is split approximately 2:1 between Oxburgh and Peckover, with a preference for being based at Oxburgh on Tuesdays for team meetings. Whether that’s across three days, four shorter days, or another arrangement, we’d love to hear what works best for you.
