Are you a talented individual looking to develop your career in a progressive conservation organisation? The reason the John Muir Trust exists - to conserve, protect and repair wild places for the benefit of everyone - has never been more important.

The Head of CEO Office provides high-level administrative and strategic support to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This role requires exceptional organisational skills, discretion, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. The Head of CEO Office serves as a key point of contact between the CEO, external stakeholders, and his Leadership Team, guiding efficient governance, communication and smooth day-to-day operations. The role ensures the CEO's time, information, and internal processes run seamlessly, that external liaison is managed proactively and that the Leadership Team stays aligned on strategic priorities and deliverables.

The John Muir Trust is committed to working together to promote a more inclusive environment and we need a diverse team to realise this. Applicants are welcome from all walks of life with diverse backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and experiences to support our work on behalf of wild places.
