Summary We’re looking for a Growing Support Consultant to help raise funds for the National Trust’s cause through promoting membership and on-site fundraising in the South West 
What it’s like to work here You’ll be part of the Trust’s internal consultancy: a flexible resource of specialist skills and expertise. As one of a multidisciplinary team of experts, including curators, marketeers, building surveyors and project managers, you’ll be working with others to help make things happen.
Your contractual place of work will be the National Trust office at Killerton near Exeter. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. We’ll talk about this in more detail at interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site (in and around Devon) for 40–60% of your working week.
What you’ll be doing You’ll develop guidance for colleagues on on-site fundraising, on leading for great service, and on recruiting and retaining members. You’ll help your colleagues based at Trust places to find innovative and creative ways to meet national targets, keeping an eye on progress and suggesting changes where needed.
You’ll work with others on plans to grow support, and you’ll always be on the lookout for strategic opportunities. You’ll use data to make informed decisions and contribute to individual business plans at National Trust sites.
As the expert in your area, you’ll be supporting your colleagues locally, in the consultancy and nationally. You’ll work with others to design and run training programmes that will build the confidence and capability of local teams, helping grow support for the Trust’s cause.
