Trustees
The Hampshire Cultural Trust (HCT) runs 20 museums, galleries and arts centres across the county, caring for 2.5 million historic objects and welcoming over 750k visitors a year. But we are far more than our buildings and collections. We use culture to genuinely improve people’s lives through social impact programmes, community partnerships, work with children and young people and experiences that improve health and wellbeing.
We are an independent charity with regional scale, a bold 2030 growth strategy, and a simple but powerful purpose: to change lives through culture.
We are currently seeking three new trustees who share our passion for the arts and heritage sector and who can bring strategic leadership to our team. We are keen to hear from individuals with proven expertise in the following areas:
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.
