National Trust for Scotland
There are National Trust for Scotland properties all across the country, with regional teams appointed to look after the Highland & Islands, North East, Edinburgh & East, South & West and our Mar Lodge Estate in the heart of the Cairngorms. We also have a Central Services team largely based in Edinburgh, where you’ll find our Audiences & Support, Conservation & Policy, Corporate & Commercial Services, People and Public Engagement & Research teams.
Whether working in a formal garden or on a hillside, our outdoor teams are out in all weathers, helping our visitors to have enjoyable and safe experiences. There’s also a wide range of support roles in areas including IT, Marketing, Finance and Retail, working to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes, inspire more visits and securing the future of our charity.
Over the last two years, we’ve been working on various career pathways into the National Trust for Scotland. These include modern apprenticeships, internships and opportunities to delve into graduate apprenticeships. Additionally, we partner with other organisations to support the growth of traditional skills.
