What It's Like To Work Here
You’ll sit within the Wales Communication and Marketing Team, a team of 15 marcomms specialist working across Wales, and you’ll embed yourself within the property group, working with all teams including Visitor Experience, House and Collections, Rangers and Community and Participation.
Your contractual location will be the National Trust office at Dinefwr or Llanerchaeron – you can choose the closest location to you. You will be required to work on-site across the property group 2-3 days a week, with the remaining days from home if you need.
We're proud of the role the Welsh language plays in the places and communities we care for across Wales. Whether you're a fluent Welsh speaker, a learner, or completely new to the language, we'll support you to develop the skills and confidence needed for your role and to engage with Welsh language and culture as part of working at the National Trust.
What You'll Be Doing
In this role, you’ll lead the planning, delivery and evaluation of communications and marketing campaigns across a wide range of channels. Working collaboratively with the Wales comms and marketing team and colleagues across the property group, you’ll focus on creating compelling website content, engaging email marketing campaigns and creative social media content that bring the unique stories of each place to life. You’ll also support with press, paid advertising, photography, videography and filming.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
