Full job description

The National Trust’s commitment is “For everyone, for ever.” Bringing that promise to life starts with the people that work here. It means building teams with a diverse range of backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. It means creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Our positions are open to all, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds to support our ambitions of reflecting the communities we serve and ending unequal access.

We’re looking for a Head of Executive Office to join our team on an 18-month fixed term contract to lead and develop a successful team that supports the Director General and helps ensure their time, focus and energy are directed towards the organisation’s most important priorities.

In this strategic leadership role, you’ll have responsibility for coordinating activity, building alignment across teams and enabling effective decision-making at the highest level. You’ll focus on building on the team’s success and continuing to develop capability.

Reporting to the Strategy & Governance Director, you’ll work closely together, with the Director General and senior leaders across the organisation, helping create the conditions that allow others to succeed. This is a role for someone who enjoys bringing people together, building trusted relationships and enabling great work behind the scenes.

Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon.

You’ll manage the Director General’s external impact planning, helping to balance competing demands on time and ensuring engagement activity aligns with organisational priorities. You’ll ensure the team prepares the Director General for meetings, events and external engagements through high-quality briefings, planning and coordination.

Working as an integrated part of the Strategy & Governance senior leadership team, you’ll help maintain a view of priorities across the directorate, bringing together plans, identifying dependencies and supporting collaboration. You’ll lead projects and initiatives that improve organisational effectiveness, oversee special pieces of work and continue to develop a capable and high-performing Executive Office team.

Experience leading a Chief Executive’s Office, Executive Office or similar function within a large and complex organisation, providing support to senior organisational leadership.
