Role

The National Trust for Scotland is looking for up to five members to join its Board from this September. 

Our Trustees play a vital role in guiding the organisation, and together their collective expertise reflects the breadth and diversity of the Trust’s work.

This year, we are inviting applications from people with experience in the following fields: 

• collections management;
• commercial and entrepreneurial activities in a consumer environment; 
• commercial property and estate management; 
• gardens and horticulture; and

With major projects underway across our properties and as we look ahead to our Centenary in 2031, this is an exciting time to contribute to shaping the future of Scotland’s most treasured places.

Joining our Board offers a unique opportunity to influence the stewardship and protection of our nation’s heritage. We encourage applications from across our diverse membership and from individuals at all stages in their careers.
