General Manager

We're looking for an inspiring, strategic and inclusive leader to become the next General Manager for the Carmarthenshire & Ceredigion Property Group.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a diverse portfolio of places across Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. From the historic landscapes of Dinefwr and Llanerchaeron, to the UK's only known Roman gold mine at Dolaucothi and the spectacular coastline of Ceredigion, the portfolio represents some of the very best of Wales's natural, cultural and historic heritage.

As General Manager, you'll not only lead these remarkable places, but play an important role within the wider Wales leadership team. Together, you'll help ensure that more people across Wales can experience and benefit from nature, beauty and heritage.

At the heart of this role is a belief that nature, beauty and heritage should be for everyone. You'll help the Trust reach and engage more people, whilst ensuring the places in our care remain relevant and welcoming for future generations

The National Trust's commitment is "For everyone, for ever."
Bringing that promise to life starts with the people that work here. It means building teams with a diverse range of backgrounds, cultures and experiences. It means creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

Our roles are open to all. However, we particularly welcome applications from people from ethnically diverse communities because they are underrepresented at the Trust.

• This is a permanent, full-time position.
• Based across the Carmarthenshire & Ceredigion Property Group, with regular travel across Wales and occasional travel to national meetings and events.
• Some weekend and occasional evening working will be required.
