About the park – and the Trust

We are looking for a new Trust Manager at an exciting and pivotal point in our history. A vacancy has arisen after one of our current co-ordinators has been promoted into a new role elsewhere. We have expanded this role to a managerial position and we are looking for someone with relevant experience and a real passion for working in a place like Abney: a magical urban woodland which means so much to the community. 

Abney Park Trust is a small registered charity with one other part time staff member. Our mission is to promote the park’s history, wildlife and role in the community. It is led by a board of volunteer trustees – and is responsible for monument restoration, the park’s many volunteering schemes, a busy programme of events, and more.

It is a very exciting time for Abney Park. The £5 million National Lottery Heritage Fund project has begun on-site. Run by Hackney Council, this will transform the park. The Trust is a very active partner in its design and implementation. We will run many of the activities to increase community use as part of the Project. The successful candidate will work closely with the Hackney Council team and overall park manager.

COVID 19 has been a challenge. We have had many successful moments despite the fact our normal activities were cancelled. You will be joining the Trust at a time where we can restore and reinvigorate our work with events and volunteering back on site.  This job is a great opportunity to develop a career in charity leadership and in history, heritage and the local environment.

This pack provides a summary of the Trust and information about what we are looking for. A full job description is available here. We look forward to receiving your application to be part of the committed team who nurture and cherish one of London’s most magical landmarks.

What you’ll be doing

You will have a pivotal role with flexibility and accountability as Trust Manager with opportunities to shape the direction of the Trust – working with an experienced Trust Co-ordinator (who is already in post) and a range of supportive Trustees. You will help us meet the Trust’s charitable objectives. You’ll be spending time in the office, at home and in the park itself – working on everything from community engagement to essential administration.

Your role will be varied. The core of the job involves:

• Planning, organising and marketing events and educational programmes taking place in the park (and over time taking the chance to give walks or tours)

• Fundraising to ensure the long term sustainability of the Trust, looking for opportunities to secure grant and project funding

• Administering the Trust including financial and administrative management, meeting obligations to Hackney Council, the Charity Commission and other bodies, including acting as the Company Secretary

• Leading the co-ordination and management of volunteers on site – for example for our grave maintenance and litter pick volunteers, as well as creating new opportunities

You will also contribute to meeting our aims by:

• Communicating Abney’s fascinating story (and history) to Hackney, to London and to the wider world through written, digital and other means

• Acting as a point of contact and expanding our connections with a range of Hackney groups

• Working to and with the Trust’s Board of volunteer Trustees, and alongside our experienced Trust Co-ordinator

• Working with Hackney Council, which owns and manages the park, in particular working with the council’s Abney Park Manager and Volunteer Co-ordinator

A background information pack and full job description are available.

Skills and experience we’re looking for

• A proactive self starter, with a capacity to manage multiple priorities at once and take the initiative to lead and solve problems

• A well organised person with a head for administration and a knack for basic budgeting and financial record keeping – and understanding of running a charity

• Enthusiasm for events, with the skills to plan and deliver them properly – taking different stakeholder needs into account and boosting our links with all of Hackney’s diverse population

• Experience of generating revenue and understanding of the importance of fundraising

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to tell Abney’s stories in various contexts – whether that’s on park tours or on social media

• Good IT and digital skills to maintain our website, manage our files and key documents, and put content online and use our social media

• Commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and knowledge of Hackney’s communities, diversity, opportunities and challenges
