Senior Project Co-ordinator

Are you brilliantly organised with loads of initiative and a talent for multi-tasking? If you’re enthusiastic about nature and heritage and love working in a collaborative environment, this is the ideal role for you.

We’re looking for a Senior Project Coordinator to support our team with the development and delivery of our DEFRA funded Landscape Recovery work in the North region; specifically over c. 9,400ha of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, pulling in funding for our farmers and neighbours to support more wildlife and become more climate resilient, helping people and nature to thrive.

Hours: Full time 37.5 hours per week, we are flexible as to when you work these hours

Salary: £26,832pa 

Contract: Fixed term contract until March 2026

Interviews: 29th May - we would prefer to conduct face to face interviews, however we can accommodate virtual interviews for those who would like to apply but live outside of the area and would relocate for this role.

If you have any questions about this role please contact: .uk

We would welcome applications from both internal and external candidates.

You’ll be part of a vibrant operational and consultancy community across the National Trust who deliver millions of pounds worth of projects each year. You’ll support work that delivers our national priorities, working with a range of brilliant people and partners.? 

Your contractual place of work will be the National Trust office at Malham Tarn. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits, particularly in the Yorkshire Hub at Goddards, 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 for 40–60% of your working week. 

We mean it when we say it’s a varied and essential role for the smooth running of the project. One typical day might include collating and circulating board meeting notes, planning a stakeholder meeting on a farm and creating a tool to track progress on a workstream. On another day you may create and then collate a financial report and associated evidence for a claim or help plan and deliver communications. No two days are the same.

We would love to hear from you if you have: 

• a methodical, accurate and proactive approach, with a good understanding of coordinating projects or programmes and an ability to prioritise effectively 
• an ability to maintain collaborative relationships inside and outside the National Trust, with effective communication and influencing skills 
• an ability to create the appropriate tools to ensure smooth running of projects and their scheduling and financial planning 
• an ability to present information clearly and in an interesting way, with skills in desk-based research, analysis and reporting  

Diversifying our audiences and workforce is important to us and we value lived experience and character. If you’re excited about this role but you don’t meet every requirement in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway if you have other experience and skills which are transferrable.

The National Trust has the motto ‘For everyone, for ever’ at its heart. We’re working hard to create an inclusive culture, where everyone feels they belong. It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
