Summary
If you’re brilliant at organisation and creating order, and you love working with people, upholding high standards in service and presentation, then this could be the role for you. We’re looking for a Business Services Co-ordinator to join us at Hidcote.
Salary: £13,396.50 pro rata (FTE £24,862.50 per annum)
Contract: Permanent
Hours/ working pattern: Part-time, 18.75 hours per week
What it's like to work here
Hidcote is a 10.5 acre garden set on the Cotswold escarpment, created in the early 20th century by Major Lawrence Johnston. With a permanent team of around 30 staff, and visitor numbers around 160,000 each year, Hidcote is a busy and vibrant property.
What you'll be doing
This is a busy place, there’s a lot going on and you’ll find that no two days are the same.
Generally, you’ll be supporting day-to-day operations, and being the first person that people see when they come into the office. Your advice and experience will be sought after by others beyond the office team.
You’ll be a champion of best practice when it comes to business support, and will confidently challenge the status quo when you think there’s a better way of doing something.
You may be asked to work weekends and bank holidays, to work outside sometimes, and to support and sometimes travel to other National Trust sites.

flexible and focused on people
happy to multi-task and manage your own priorities and workload
The package
The National Trust has the motto ‘For everyone, for ever’ at its heart. We’re working hard to create an inclusive culture, where everyone feels they belong. It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
