**Important notice**
In line with our redeployment policy, we’ll prioritise applications from employees who are under formal notice of redundancy.
Being a Visitor Experience Officer for the National Trust is all about people – connecting with them, inspiring them, and making sure they have the best possible day when they come to visit.
Salary: £10,717.20 pro rata (FTE £26,793 per annum)
Contract: Permanent
Hours/working pattern: 780 hours per year. This role is based on annualised hours, where the amount of hours you work each month may vary, however your salary will be paid in 12 equal instalments over the year.
As Antony is only open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from April to October, as well as Bank Holidays, Sundays from the end of May and to the end of August, and occasional other days, we expect most of the hours to be weighted towards when Antony is open to the public, with fewer working hours between November and March.
Working location: This role is based at Antony House, located in Torpoint, Cornwall. Due to it’s location, it’s likely you will need your own transport to get there.

Antony House is part of the Tamar Valley Property Group which includes Buckland Abbey in Devon and Cotehele in Cornwall.
Antony is still home to the Carew Pole Family and tells the story of a family who became caught up in the extraordinary events of the English Civil War and is believed to be one of the finest surviving Queen Anne buildings in the West Country. The Repton designed landscape garden has sweeping views which includes a formal garden with topiary and modern sculptures.
