Senior Portfolio Co-ordinator
We're looking for a Senior Portfolio Co-ordinator to join our team and support the Financial Growth Portfolio and Experience & Revenue Directorate.
This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of one of the National Trust's most important strategic priorities. You'll support the successful delivery of high-profile initiatives that help drive growth, improve visitor and supporter experiences, and deliver long-term impact across the organisation.
Internally you’ll be known as a Senior Project Co-ordinator.
What it's like to work here
You'll join a supportive team working on high-profile strategic priorities across the organisation. Collaborating with colleagues from different teams, you'll support initiatives that drive growth, improve performance and deliver organisational change.
We're committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and able to succeed. We welcome applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and are interested in the skills, experience and potential you'll bring to the role.
Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon and there will be an expectation for you to attend the office. However, there is flexibility on where you are based at other times. You will be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.
What you'll be doing
You'll provide high-quality coordination, administration and delivery support across a portfolio of strategic initiatives and directorate priorities. You'll coordinate meetings, workshops and events, support project planning and governance, manage actions and key documentation, and prepare reports, presentations and communications. Working closely with senior leaders and stakeholders, you'll help keep priorities on track, maintain portfolio records and reporting, and identify opportunities to improve processes and ways of working. No two days are the same, offering a varied role with real impact across the organisation.
