Director

Creswell Heritage Trust is looking for an inspiring Director to deliver on its long-term
vision, secure the future of the Trust and ensure that more people discover the stories of
Creswell Crags. 

Creswell Crags is a unique and dynamic place to work. A site of international renown for the
significance of its prehistoric heritage, a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Site of Special
Scientific Interest. A museum with an important archaeological and palaeontological collection,
some of the oldest pre-history cave art in the UK and a well-loved visitor attraction offering
scenic walks, cave tours, a special events programme and a welcoming visitor centre with cafe
and gift shop. The Trust is an independent registered charity and company limited by guarantee,
which can be challenging but also incredibly rewarding. 

We need a leader with the skills and experience to complete the business recovery and
turnaround of the Trust, building on work that has already taken place and the support we have
secured. There is much to do, but this is what makes this role such an exciting challenge and
opportunity for someone who wishes to make their mark in the heritage world. You will work
alongside a committed Board and a dedicated, friendly team with our sights firmly set on
building a bright future for the special place we look after. 

Our new Director will be someone who can inspire and lead the team to develop and deliver on
the long-term vision for the Trust. The ability to build strong relationships with local
communities and audiences is as critical as financial acumen. The Director must be able to
balance the challenges of providing day-to-day management for the organisation while also
steering the team through this period of change and providing strong leadership and future
vision.
