Experiences producer
at National Trust
National Trust is looking for an experiences producer to join its team in Swindon, UK.
Summary
Interpretation matters to us. It is one of the primary ways that we can deliver benefit to our audiences – by increasing our visitors’ enjoyment, understanding and emotional engagement, affording inspiration, exploration of ideas and new perspectives or simply contributing to the pleasure of a visit.
The Foundational Written Interpretation project is focused on rolling out a written interpretation suite of quality materials to a cohort of our historic houses and we are looking for a highly creative and collaborative experiences producer to join the national programming and production team to support its development and delivery.
If you have a keen eye for detail, significant experience of working with creative suppliers and are committed to finding the best ways to support the delivery of accessible, engaging experiences, we’d love to hear from you.
The role is offered on an 18-month fixed term contract or internal secondment basis.
