With just 12 months left, you'll find the stories, toolkits and case studies which have emerged along the way. And you'll transform them into an accessible, engaging and useful legacy which will benefit others looking to rethink the green and blue spaces in their town or city. Contract type: This is a fixed term contract for 12 months/to end of April 2022 Hours: 37.5 hours per week (although we would consider part time) Salary: £27,735 and £30,000 per annum (dependent on experience) Please include within your application two examples of your own written work (500 words max per piece), with details of their publication if applicable.

The places we're working with are spread from Edinburgh to Plymouth. The post holder would be based at the nearest office or hub but colleagues have recently been working from home due to Covid-19 restrictions. When restrictions allow we will return to working from an office but there will be an opportunity to explore and agree remote working arrangements which strike the right balance for you and the FPA programme. We're a dispersed team, and we have got really good at working in a 'virtual 'environment - although it's fair to expect some travel before the year is out, data permitting. Secondments from National Trust, National Lottery Heritage Fund or other organisations would be welcomed with agreement from substantive employer. What you'll be doing You'll be responsible for researching, writing and producing a range of resources from the work of the FPA programme. The leads and ideas for these will come from within the FPA programme team and consultants, the places we're working with, or other sources of inspiration. Whatever format they reach you in, you'll turn them into great, audience-specific content, using the most appropriate medium. Then ensure they're published using whichever channels work for our audiences. This content will be a significant part of the legacy of the FPA programme. Who we're looking for A proven track record of research, writing and editing. Strong attention to detail and excellent written English, including grammar and spelling - your own work, rather than outsourcing or commissioning it from others. Ability to cope with large volumes of information, with critical thinking and analytical skills to explore ideas and unpack assumptions. Then synthesise information into accessible and engaging content. Excellent and confident communication skills, able to operate at all levels, build rapport and establish relationships in order to 'interview' and download relevant information from people within the FPA programme and beyond. Understanding of, and ability to identify audience and tailor content accordingly. Creativity with content, experienced with using different channels, formats and tools. Organisational skills, establishing and managing a clear process for creating, approving and publishing resources. Experience of working with or commissioning work from multidisciplinary technical teams, for example graphic designers, photographers, video editors etc. Ability to lead and deliver work independently and manage your time effectively. We're operating in a largely virtual work environment now, so you'll mostly be working from home. Track record of delivering high quality work, at a fast pace. IT skills, including knowledge of different online tools, software, and accessibility criteria The package Benefits for working at the National Trust: Flexible working whenever possible Free parking at most locations Discounts in high street stores, cinemas, National Trust properties and cafes.
