What it's like to work here

You'll sit within the Wales Communication and Marketing Team, a team of 15 marcomms specialist working across Wales, and you'll embed yourself within the property group, working with all teams including Visitor Experience, House and Collections, Rangers and Community and Participation.

Your contractual location will be the National Trust office at Dinefwr or Llanerchaeron - you can choose the closest location to you. You will be required to work on-site across the property group 2-3 days a week, with the remaining days from home if you need.

We're proud of the role the Welsh language plays in the places and communities we care for across Wales. Whether you're a fluent Welsh speaker, a learner, or completely new to the language, we'll support you to develop the skills and confidence needed for your role and to engage with Welsh language and culture as part of working at the National Trust.

What you'll be doing

In this role, you'll lead the planning, delivery and evaluation of communications and marketing campaigns across a wide range of channels. Working collaboratively with the Wales comms and marketing team and colleagues across the property group, you'll focus on creating compelling website content, engaging email marketing campaigns and creative social media content that bring the unique stories of each place to life. You'll also support with press, paid advertising, photography, videography and filming.

The property group plays a key role in delivering our Ending Unequal Access strategic goal. Through inspiring and inclusive communications, you'll help connect more people with nature, beauty and history, ensuring our places are welcoming, relevant and accessible to everyone.

You'll also support our ambition to inspire more children and young people to engage with, enjoy and take action for the places in our care, helping to build stronger connections with the next generation.

Alongside supporting our strategic goals, you'll be responsible for promoting visits to Dinefwr, Llanerchaeron and Dolaucothi, showcasing a year-round programme of events, activities, exhibitions and more.
