What it's like to work here
You’ll be working with teams of staff and volunteers across two sites, as well as regional consultancy colleagues, who all have a shared passion for the work of the National Trust.

Wentworth Castle Gardens

Working together with Barnsley Council and Northern College, this estate, rooted in rivalry, provides a space to bring people together.

Royal diplomat Thomas Wentworth was outraged when a cousin inherited his family home in 1695 and was determined to outdo him, creating what was once known as ‘the finest garden in England’. Today it is South Yorkshire’s only Grade I-listed landscape, with acres of parkland and gardens to explore. There are surprises along every avenue, including a castle that is not what it seems.

The National Trust only took over the running of the site in 2019. We are now welcoming 120k visitors a year, inviting them to enjoy seasonal garden highlights, explore fascinating stories and celebrate art and community initiatives.

Nostell

Welcoming 150k visitors a year, Nostell is home to one of the great treasure houses of the north. The house is a Georgian architectural masterpiece, where generations of the Winn family employed the best architects, craftsmen and artists to create a showcase for fashionable design.

Inside, we tell the stories behind a world-class collection furniture, textiles and wallpaper supplied by Thomas Chippendale, historic paintings, a treasured Georgian dolls' house, Robert Adam interiors and a rare John Harrison clock.

The whole estate includes parkland, meadows, lakes, a working kitchen garden, orangery and Menagerie Garden, with seasonal highlights including snowdrops, magnolia, bluebells and Rose Garden.
