We're looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Project Coordinator to join the Clandon Project team to deliver one of the biggest heritage projects the National Trust has ever tackled.
This role is ideal for someone looking to expand their experience on a major, highly complex project before moving into a Senior Project Coordinator or Project Officer role.
You’ll play an integral part in ensuring the smooth running of the project, working closely with our team and wider internal and external stakeholders.

Our team comprises project managers, curators, community and volunteering specialists, an external design team and many technical specialists.
We operate a hybrid working arrangement, with a balance of office and home working and regular travel to Clandon for site visits and meetings.
What You'll Be Doing
- Provide general flexible support across project, as well as a particular focus on our community engagement work, collections store and project archive.
- Support the organisation and delivery of public facing events.
- Champion open and productive communication, record-keeping and administration, while always being willing to get stuck in and help practically with the project when needed.
- Work alongside the senior leadership team and others to make sure the project runs smoothly, reporting regularly to your line manager.
- By building strong relationships, help all members of the team to work at their productive best towards achieving the ambitions of the project.
