Unremunerated position, but reasonable expenses can be paid

The Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust is the charity that operates and cares for Highgate Cemetery, London’s most famous Victorian burial ground. The site is both a visitor attraction and an operational cemetery, but shortage of space means that creative solutions will be required to preserve its fabric and significance. With around 90,000 visitors a year and over 200 volunteers, this is an exciting time to be involved.

We are looking for potential trustees who share our passion and commitment and who have the knowledge and experience to the support the work of the Trust.

• Law
• Project management with a construction background

Others with other relevant skills are also encouraged to apply.
