SalaryPeople who work for the National Trust are as varied as all the places we care for. That's why we look for staff from all backgrounds, with a variety of skills and abilities, to help the Trust’s cause. As a Communications and Marketing Officer for Chartwell, you'll be responsible for letting people know about the place, and how they can visit.

The properties and landscapes that make up the Chartwell portfolio are broad ranging, from an international-renowned Treasure House to an Edwardian plant-hunters garden, from Georgian home that tells a story of global significance to the wide sweeping countryside where National Trust founder, Octavia Hill, lived - and this variety is reflected in the role.
