The National Trust’s commitment is “For everyone, for ever.” Bringing that promise to life starts with the people that work here.

You’ll shape and embed our risk framework, helping teams identify and manage risks effectively, while overseeing a high-quality, risk-based internal audit programme that delivers meaningful insight and strong assurance.

Working closely with senior leaders, the Executive Team and Trustees, you’ll build trusted relationships and provide both support and challenge to inform decision-making. You’ll lead and develop a skilled and committed team, fostering a culture of openness, collaboration and continuous improvement, and using what we learn from assurance activity to strengthen governance, improve performance and help the organisation stay resilient in a changing world.
