Digital Marketing and Technology Trustee

Heritage is for everybody, and we are here for heritage.

Heritage lives in places and people, memories and stories, artefacts and traditions. It can connect us all to the past, and to each other. It can make us happier, strengthen every community, and help shape society for the better. Everybody should be able to enjoy the benefits it brings.

That\`s why, as a charity, we care for over a million objects and hundreds of historic sites in every part of England, from international icons to local treasures. And it\`s why we open them up, share their stories and find new ways for everybody to enjoy, learn, play and create.

We are recruiting for a trustee to assist with the development and use of digital technology to enhance our marketing and visitor experience and create value from our extraordinary collection of material, which is underutilised at present.
