By joining Scotland’s leading conservation charity at one of two trust sites in the county, people can make the most of the health and well-being benefits of working in Scotland’s beautiful nature, while telling the stories of Scotland’s history and preserving important sites, such as Barrie’s Birthplace, in Kirriemuir, and House of Dun, near Montrose for generations to come.

Last month, NTS launched its new 10-year strategy, ‘Nature, Beauty & Heritage for Everyone’, which outlined ambitious plans for the years ahead – from becoming carbon negative through to increasing visitor numbers to more than 6 million per year.

To support its ambitions, the charity is now recruiting for 300 roles across the country.
