Careerships - Tell Me More

How does the programme work?

Careership is the National Trust's award-winning programme, launched in 1991. We concentrate on developing rare skills in practical settings, nurturing the talents we need to keep protecting our natural heritage. Join us as a trainee, and your days will become as rewarding as they are inspiring. In your time with us, you'll achieve recognised qualifications and will take your first steps in a career that could lead to a lifetime of fulfilment with the Trust.

You'll be offered employment at a specially selected National Trust garden, area of countryside or coastline. This will become your workplace, where with plenty of help and support from senior Trust colleagues, you'll develop a range of new skills. Working alongside colleagues, the local community and volunteers, you'll gain a real understanding of the work of the National Trust with people and places in your local area, and beyond.

A sensible blend of college theory and hands-on work, with plenty of constructive reviews, means you'll quickly progress in your chosen field:
