What it's like to work here:This is an exciting opportunity to lead programming at Chirk Castle. At the National Trust, people and places are at the heart of everything we do. You'll join a collaborative and supportive team who care deeply about nature, beauty and history - and about the people who experience them.
We work together with purpose and curiosity, valuing different perspectives and embracing change so our places stay relevant for everyone, for ever. You'll be part of a culture that encourages creativity, champions inclusion, and gives you the freedom to try new ideas, learn, and grow.
What you'll be doing:You'll lead work that delights, intrigues and involves both new and existing audiences, with a particular focus on large-scale seasonal programming for Christmas and summer, alongside the development and delivery of a high-profile programme of changing exhibitions. You'll work closely with colleagues across the property, contributing to and supporting work across teams where needed.
You'll ensure we're offering a varied range of experiences that encourage visitors to enjoy their day and return again and again. Building on previous successes and bringing fresh ideas to the table, you'll help keep our visitor offer engaging, immersive and relevant.
Working collaboratively, you'll develop strong relationships with a wide range of creative partners to bring new experiences to life. You'll also help us reach people who aren't currently engaging with our places, finding innovative ways to make them feel welcome and connected to the stories, landscapes and collections in our care.
