National Trust
Overview

Key information
Back in 1895, three far-sighted people – Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley – founded the National Trust on the belief that everyone has a deep human need for nature, beauty and history. It connects us all and allows us to flourish.
That same belief still underpins the values, the ambitions and all the work of the Trust today.
The Trust covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland has its own National Trust.
From wild and precious places to the world outside your window, the National Trust offers access, enjoyment and a chance for everyone to help out.

We believe Diversity is about recognising and valuing difference in its broadest sense.
We believe Equality is about creating a fairer society where everyone can participate and can fulfil their potential. This requires equal access and equal opportunities and is backed by legislation designed to address unfair discrimination. We believe Inclusion is about creating a working culture that recognises, respects, values and incorporates different perspectives for the benefit of the individual and the organisation.
Supporting You
We want great people to join us. That’s why we are always happy to adjust the recruitment process for people with visible and invisible disabilities, mental health conditions and neurodiversity. For example, you might need an audio, Braille, or large print version of the role profile or the opportunity to see interview questions in advance. And if you need adjustments to the interview location – like a ground floor room or dimmable lights – just let us know. If you’re not sure what adjustments you might need, you can find ideas and advice below.
Not sure how we could help you?
We’ve included some examples of the kind of adjustments we can make below, so you can see how we’re supporting others. These are just a few of the ways we can help, so please still get in touch even if the following aren’t relevant for you.
