The Curatorial and Collections Director is a newly created role which sits at the heart of our organisation.
This role sits in our central operations and as such is based in our office at Heelis, Swindon. However the national reach of role means substantial and regular travel is likely.
We’re looking for someone to lead the curatorial and heritage conservation work of the National Trust. You will work with the Director of Curation & Experiences to help shape and deliver the Trust’s ambitious new curatorial strategy, including high quality research, inspirational engagement, and excellent care for the historic environment.
The challenge and the opportunity are huge. You and your team will work with our operations teams and our internal consultancy, providing land and property General Managers with ways of working that are easy to navigate and understand. That means working cross functionally at the highest level, developing trust wide standards and ensuring we have the capability and resources to achieve our vision. That includes taking ownership of the professional development for our curatorial and conservator populations.
But the opportunity also looks outwards from the organisation as you’ll determine the content of external facing policies relating to curatorship and collections care. Working with our government and external affairs team you’ll take a lead in external advocacy, influencing to maintain and build the Trust’s profile in conservation.
Closing date is 10th September
