From ancient woodlands full of the rarest of species to fertile farmlands, majestic fells and mountains to wild open spaces held in trust for future generations, the National Trust owns 250,000 ha of land across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our substantial portfolio makes us one of the most significant landowners in the UK and our philosophy sees us standing out from the crowd. As the largest conservation charity in Europe, we’re committed to sustainable practices, and we are focused on the needs for regeneration in the countryside.

We've a rent roll of over £25million and 12,000 agreements to monitor. Our portfolio is predominantly agricultural and our land use philosophy is challenging in aiming to balance economic viability with environmental responsibility. Working with farmers to preserve habitats and landscapes, we also help to expand incomes through innovative schemes - from turning derelict buildings into farm shops or offices finding small businesses to fill redundant barns.

With such a wealth of land, tenants and property means our talented team enjoy some of the most varied surveying roles imaginable; no day's ever the same with the National Trust extending beyond agricultural estates to residential and commercial property, 'general practice' and legal work, environment, conservation, planning, project management and much more. All of this aiming to deliver a bright future for Britain's countryside.

However, as our portfolio continues to grow, our team must too. So we’re always searching for talented people to join us at all levels. Which is where you come in.

If you’ve a real understanding of the environment, the rural economy and the practicalities of living and working in the countryside, we’d like to meet you. Whether you’re just starting out and progressing to qualify as a Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors or already an established professional searching for rewards in contributing to the management of the Trust’s estate, the National Trust has a lot to offer. As a charity, we can’t offer the biggest of salaries, but we definitely offer a bright future.

What’s more, you can expect good progression and support, the opportunity to innovate and a seriously rewarding way to spend your day.
