Background

The Wordsworth Trust has celebrated the life and work of William Wordsworth
since 1891, bringing poetry, people and place together in a unique way – nowhere
else can so much of a great writer’s original work still be seen in the place where
it was both written and largely inspired.  Through exhibitions, events, and our
work with schools, universities, families and communities, we fulfil Wordsworth’s
own wish for his poetry to ‘live and do good’ bringing history to life and making it
accessible to all.

Following a £6.5 million transformation, Wordsworth Grasmere now features the
historic Dove Cottage, a state-of-the-art Museum, a thriving Shop, and a
welcoming Café. As an Arts Council-funded National Portfolio Organisation and
an Accredited Museum, we offer outstanding experiences to visitors from around

the world.  This is a busy, hands-on role with significant onsite management
responsibility in an exceptional and unique workplace.

We are committed to addressing the imbalance of equality in the cultural sector.
We particularly welcome applications from candidates who are under-
represented within the sector, including by ethnicity, disability, and socio-
economic background.
