A rare opportunity to lead one of Britain's most significant historic estates - Hestercombe Garden Trust Hestercombe is one of the South West's most significant historic landscapes, combining nationally important gardens, heritage buildings, and a vibrant programme of cultural and community activity. Set within a unique valley landscape, the estate brings together over 300 years of garden design, including the celebrated collaboration between Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, alongside earlier Georgian and later Victorian influences. Today, Hestercombe operates as an independent charitable trust with a mission to conserve, restore and share this remarkable place for public benefit. In February 2024, Hestercombe was awarded Full National Museum Accreditation, recognising the quality and importance of its collections, interpretation, and public offer. The estate welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each year and offers a diverse programme spanning horticulture, arts and culture, learning, and wellbeing. From formal gardens and woodland walks to exhibitions, events and seasonal programming, Hestercombe provides an accessible and inspiring environment for a wide and growing audience. While the organisation is currently navigating a period of formal Administration, this next phase marks a turning point rather than a conclusion. Significant progress has been made to stabilise the Trust's position, and we are now moving toward an exit from administration with a renewed sense of purpose. With a dedicated staff team, a loyal volunteer base, and strong community roots, the foundation for recovery is firmly in place. The appointment of a new Chief Executive and Board of Trustees is a pivotal moment of transformation. We are looking for leadership that respects our 300-year heritage while driving an entrepreneurial, resilient, and sustainable future. This is a rare opportunity to lead the regeneration of a site of national importance; shaping a legacy that ensures Hestercombe remains an inspiring environment for generations to come. Background The Trustees, together with the Joint Administrators of the Trust, are seeking to appoint a Chief Executive Officer ( CEO ) to lead the Trust through an immediate restructuring phase and into the next chapter, securing a sustainable long term future. The CEO will play a central role in stabilising operations, supporting the exit from Administration, and delivering the strategic and commercial direction required to secure the Trust's viability and important heritage focus. The CEO will champion Hestercombe's artistic, horticultural, historic and ecological importance while strengthening commercial performance and visitor experience. They will have a deep affinity with heritage, culture and landscape. Due to a number of operational challenges and financial pressures, the Trustees appointed Joint Administrators from Forvis Mazars LLP on 1 August 2025 to protect the estate and stabilise operations. With fantastic support and hard work from the existing management team, staff and an army of volunteers, the Estate has successful continued trading under the supervision of the Administrators, who have been working with key stakeholders and benefactors to formulate a rescue and funding plan and secure a long term sustainable future of the Estate. It is intended that Hestercombe Gardens Trust will exit Administration within the next 6 months and return to the control of the Trustees, a newly appointed CEO and management team. The Joint Administrators and the existing Trustees are seeking to appoint a new CEO to create and lead a strategy that will ensure the long term sustainability of this nationally significant heritage estate. Purpose of the role The CEO will be responsible for: Overall leadership and management of the Trust. Create and lead the delivery of a strategic plan to support the preservation of this historic cultural asset and financial sustainability. Meet governance and regulatory requirements. Maintain strong relationships with key funders and partners during and after the Administration exit. Key responsibilities Provide clear leadership to the Trust, setting direction for the management team and wider staff. Formulate, deliver and support a business plan as part of the exit from Administration, including financial and operational milestones and ensure the Trust is positioned for long term viability. Maintain effective dialogue with key funders including the principal benefactor, the National Lottery Heritage and Memorial Funds and Bank. Work closely with the Trustees to implement the future governance structure, including supporting a refreshed Board. Lead commercial activity, visitor/member experience and revenue generating initiatives, including events, house tenants and growth opportunities. Oversee management of trading operations and ensure efficient use of resources. Promote a culture of accountability, prudent financial management and operational resilience. Build and maintain relationships with heritage, cultural and community partners. Represent the Trust publicly and manage its profile with stakeholders at all levels. Ensure statutory, regulatory and charity governance requirements are met. Lead organisational development including staffing structure, people management and performance oversight.

A rare opportunity to lead one of Britain's most significant historic estates - Hestercombe Garden Trust Hestercombe is one of the South West's most significant historic landscapes, combining nationally important gardens, heritage buildings, and a vibrant programme of cultural and community activity. Set within a unique valley landscape, the estate brings together over 300 years of garden design, including the celebrated collaboration between Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, alongside earlier Georgian and later Victorian influences. Today, Hestercombe operates as an independent charitable trust with a mission to conserve, restore and share this remarkable place for public benefit. In February 2024, Hestercombe was awarded Full National Museum Accreditation, recognising the quality and importance of its collections, interpretation, and public offer. The estate welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each year and offers a diverse programme spanning horticulture, arts and culture, learning, and wellbeing. From formal gardens and woodland walks to exhibitions, events and seasonal programming, Hestercombe provides an accessible and inspiring environment for a wide and growing audience. While the organisation is currently navigating a period of formal Administration, this next phase marks a turning point rather than a conclusion. Significant progress has been made to stabilise the Trust's position, and we are now moving toward an exit from administration with a renewed sense of purpose. With a dedicated staff team, a loyal volunteer base, and strong community roots, the foundation for recovery is firmly in place. The appointment of a new Chief Executive and Board of Trustees is a pivotal moment of transformation. We are looking for leadership that respects our 300-year heritage while driving an entrepreneurial, resilient, and sustainable future. This is a rare opportunity to lead the regeneration of a site of national importance; shaping a legacy that ensures Hestercombe remains an inspiring environment for generations to come. Background The Trustees, together with the Joint Administrators of the Trust, are seeking to appoint a Chief Executive Officer ( CEO ) to lead the Trust through an immediate restructuring phase and into the next chapter, securing a sustainable long term future. The CEO will play a central role in stabilising operations, supporting the exit from Administration, and delivering the strategic and commercial direction required to secure the Trust's viability and important heritage focus. The CEO will champion Hestercombe's artistic, horticultural, historic and ecological importance while strengthening commercial performance and visitor experience. They will have a deep affinity with heritage, culture and landscape. Due to a number of operational challenges and financial pressures, the Trustees appointed Joint Administrators from Forvis Mazars LLP on 1 August 2025 to protect the estate and stabilise operations. With fantastic support and hard work from the existing management team, staff and an army of volunteers, the Estate has successful continued trading under the supervision of the Administrators, who have been working with key stakeholders and benefactors to formulate a rescue and funding plan and secure a long term sustainable future of the Estate. It is intended that Hestercombe Gardens Trust will exit Administration within the next 6 months and return to the control of the Trustees, a newly appointed CEO and management team. The Joint Administrators and the existing Trustees are seeking to appoint a new CEO to create and lead a strategy that will ensure the long term sustainability of this nationally significant heritage estate. Purpose of the role The CEO will be responsible for: Overall leadership and management of the Trust.

When customers invest in NS&I products, they are lending to the Government. In return the Government offers 100% security on all deposits and pays interest or prizes for Premium Bonds. This means that NS&I is backed by HM Treasury, keeping its 24 million customers' savings safe. This is the opportunity to lead an organisation trusted by millions of savers and offers the rare chance to deliver tangible national impact while driving innovation, digital transformation and outstanding customer outcomes. The role sits at the intersection of public service and commercial discipline, providing the challenge of stewarding a highly trusted brand, modernising complex operations, and shaping the future of secure savings for customers across the UK. The Role The Chief Executive is also the Director of Savings, and Principal Accounting Officer to NS&I. As such they are fully accountable and responsible to Treasury Ministers and to Parliament for all aspects of the NS&I business. This will be an autonomous CEO role reporting, to both the NS&I Board and HM Treasury, with end-to-end accountability for transformation and performance of the organisation. Whilst NS&I is successfully meeting its targets for savings and funding for the Government, and service levels to most customers, it is undergoing a major transformation programme and has experienced significant operational failings recently. Both these issues are operationally complex and must be resolved alongside continuing operations to build confidence and credibility with its stakeholders and customers alike. It is therefore crucial that a highly capable, credible CEO is appointed to lead the organisation through these challenges and re-establish NS&Is reputation and standing as trusted, efficient and effective national institution. The successful candidate will: Lead the creation and implementation of NS&I's business strategy to deliver cost-effective financing to HM Treasury. Balance the interests of customers, the taxpayer, wider government objectives, and the broader financial services sector in the context of NS&I's activities. Provide direction and leadership to the executive team, setting clear short- and long-term objectives and maximising the skills within the team. Effectively manage and incentivise NS&I's operational partners at a senior level to deliver the agreed business plans efficiently and in line with NS&I's values. The successful candidate will bring: Experience of operating at Senior Executive or equivalent, with a strong track record of strategic leadership and operational delivery experience. Experience of delivering a major change/transformation programme within consumer facing industries, at scale, with a track record of managing elevated risk profiles and leading commercial negotiations at a senior level. A track record of promoting a positive personal and organisational profile in external communications. This should include experience of managing consumer-facing operations, including resolving operational issues, reputation management and recovery. Ability to manage financial budgets and clear demonstration of effective resource management Experience within the consumer financial services environment or similar including within retail savings institutions, regulators, trade associations, and other relevant stakeholders would also be desirable. Other desirable criteria are shown in the Candidate Brief. NS&I is committed to achieving greater diversity across all levels of the organisation. Given this, they particularly welcome applications from women, disabled, and minority ethnic candidates, as under-represented groups. The closing date for this role is Sunday 28 June 2026 at 23:55.
