Shape our future with you fresh perspective! Our Council is the guardian spirit of the National Trust as embodied in its core purpose. It is not our governing body, but its specific responsibilities are to appoint our Board of Trustees and to monitor and support our Board’s work and performance. Our Council debates important issues of strategy and policy and shares its views about them with our Board.
Our strength comes from the breadth of knowledge of our members – most important we look for people with a real passion for the Trust and who love what it stands for.
This is a voluntary role, however expenses are paid.
Skills and experience we’re looking for
We welcome applications from people of all ages, ethnicity and backgrounds, who can contribute to our work. You should be able to demonstrate a broad range of the qualities and experience we’re looking for. In particular this year, we are also looking to enhance the diversity of the Council with enhanced representation of members from East Anglia, Midlands and North of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Please note that in order to be eligibleto stand for election to our Council, our constitution requires that candidates are Trust members.
