Senior Project Co-ordinator

Summary

Are you brilliantly organised with loads of initiative and a talent for multi-tasking? If
you’re enthusiastic about nature and heritage and love working in a collaborative environment,
this is the ideal role for you.

We’re looking for a Senior Project Coordinator to support our team with the development and
delivery of our DEFRA funded Landscape Recovery work in the North region; specifically over c.
9,400ha of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, pulling in funding for our farmers and
neighbours to support more wildlife and become more climate resilient, helping people and
nature to thrive.

Hours: Full time 37.5 hours per week, we are flexible as to when you work
these hours

Salary: £26,832pa 

Contract: Fixed term contract until March 2026

Interviews: 29th May – we would prefer to conduct face to face interviews,
however we can accommodate virtual interviews for those who would like to apply but live
outside of the area and would relocate for this role.

If you have any questions about this role please contact: [email protected]

We would welcome applications from both internal and external candidates.

What it’s like to work here

You’ll be part of a vibrant operational and consultancy community across the National Trust who
deliver millions of pounds worth of projects each year. You’ll support work that delivers our
national priorities, working with a range of brilliant people and partners.

Your contractual place of work will be the National Trust office at Malham Tarn. Our hybrid
working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits, particularly in
the Yorkshire Hub at Goddards, and meetings at other 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
40–60% of your working week. 

What you’ll be doing

We mean it when we say it’s a varied and essential role for the smooth running of the project.
One typical day might include collating and circulating board meeting notes, planning a
stakeholder meeting on a farm and creating a tool to track progress on a workstream. On another
day you may create and then collate a financial report and associated evidence for a claim or
help plan and deliver communications. No two days are the same. 

Please also read the role profile on our website.

Who we’re looking for

We would love to hear from you if you have: 

• a methodical, accurate and proactive approach, with a good understanding of coordinating
  projects or programmes and an ability to prioritise effectively 
• an ability to maintain collaborative relationships inside and outside the National Trust,
  with effective communication and influencing skills 
• an ability to create the appropriate tools to ensure smooth running of projects and their
  scheduling and financial planning 
• an ability to present information clearly and in an interesting way, with skills in
  desk-based research, analysis and reporting

Diversifying our audiences and workforce is important to us and we value lived experience and
character. If you’re excited about this role but you don’t meet every requirement in the job
description, we encourage you to apply anyway if you have other experience and skills which are
transferrable.

The package

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.
