We’re looking for somebody who can support us by expanding our reach into core and new audiences, launch new visitor experiences, and communicate our charitable message. We have a solid marketing strategy and all the tools you need in place, yet there’s plenty of room to make your mark.

You will be joining us during the 250th Walter Scott anniversary year, tailor made to play our part in Scotland’s Year of Stories 2022. As we bounce back from Covid we’ve plans for investing in new experiences for family audiences, whilst we bring back our established international and UK visitors.

Our trading encompasses historic house & garden admissions, luxury self catering, retail, a café, and public events. With busy teams also leading on important heritage restoration and care, estate paths and woodland, and a thriving volunteer and community programme, you’ll be the kind of person who thrives in a busy, vibrant organisation where collaboration and teamwork is essential to getting the job done.
