IT Engineer - National Trust : Job Details

We have a great opportunity for a M365 Administrator to join our Enterprise Identity and Collaboration Team, within IT.

We’ve just put a brand new 10 year IT strategy in place that’s firmly aligned with our business strategy – a strategy which will bring big delivery challenges as well as one huge opportunity for your career. 

The National Trust continues to make £multi-million investments to transform our technology capability in support of our cause. That’s no small task when you consider the incredible breadth of what we do. We strive to deliver powerful infrastructural changes with an ambitious technological roadmap. 

This journey of transformation will deliver phenomenal benefits for our organisation and dramatically enhance how we connect people with our cause. 

Technology plays a huge and important role in our work here at the Trust. It’s important for us to stay ahead of the curve, so that we can continue to meet the needs of our members and visitors, as we grow support for our charity. Our vision is to equip the organisation with the technology we all need to do our jobs more efficiently and confidently. That means working collaboratively with people across all areas of the Trust to continuously develop and improve what we offer.

Our team is committed to making this happen.

You will be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.

You’ll also drive identity integrations with other cloud-based services using Entra as the IdP.
