Situation Vacant – National Trust (NSW) Executive Director
The National Trust (NSW) is a community based non-government organisation committed to promoting and conserving Australia’s built, natural and cultural heritage through its work as custodian, protector and advocate.Celebrating its sixtieth anniversary in 2005 the Trust is Australia’s oldest and largest advocate for the protection of our heritage. It owns or operates 34 properties, with a workforce of over 100 full and part time staff. With the decision of the current Executive Director not to extend her contract after 11 distinguished years of service, the Trust is seeking an Executive Director to further develop its role as a leader in heritage conservation, promotion and education.

The new Executive Director must have a passion for heritage. The position will build on the mandate of the Trust as a heritage advocate, custodian and protector, and will require a motivated and experienced leader and team builder, able to address all stakeholders. These include: the membership of 26,000 (including some 2000 volunteers), government, business, the heritage profession, and, given the Trust’s independent voice, the general public. Experience in senior level management and a proven track record of developing sponsorship, business growth or fund raising is highly desirable. The successful candidate must have strong interpersonal skills and previous heritage experience is desirable.
