You'll play an important part in securing the support, engagement, and resources needed to ensure these special places continue to inspire and benefit generations to come.

What it's like to work here
Hughenden Manor is a beautiful red brick mansion, once home to Victorian Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli. Perched on a hilltop, the country home delivers historic vistas of the surrounding woodland and valleys that come into their own. Its tree-filled pleasure gardens are a mosaic of colour, with the rich golds and reds of the beech trees contrasting to the lush evergreens.
