Outstanding people leadership skills, with the ability to inspire, empower and develop diverse teams.
-
Experience working with a wide range of stakeholders, partners and communities.

A passion for creating memorable visitor experiences and delivering meaningful impact.

Experience within sustainability-led, horticultural, heritage, educational or environmental organisations would be particularly welcome, although we are equally interested in leaders who share our values and bring fresh perspectives.
