Trustee vacancy – Kiplin Hall and Gardens

Make a difference – Why not become a Trustee for Kiplin Hall?

Kiplin Hall and Gardens in North Yorkshire is recruiting Trustees to join the friendly and dedicated Board which oversees the management of this intriguing Jacobean house.  The house was built in the 1620s for George Calvert, Secretary of State to James I and founder of the US state of Maryland. A member of the Historic Houses Association, the Hall and Gardens are open to visitors and we welcome over 30,000 visitors each year. We are currently in the early planning stages of creating a new Welcome Centre at Kiplin with improved retail and catering for our visitors.

We are particularly seeking Trustees with skills and experience in finance, law, fundraising (particularly from non-grant funded sources) and project management to help oversee the continued development of the Hall and Gardens.  With the support of National Lottery Heritage Fund, we are further enhancing the service and experience offered to visitors, as well as reviewing our working practices internally to ensure Kiplin is sustainable and resilient for the future.  We are looking to grow our Board of Trustees to help guide us through an exciting period of change and transition.

Our aim is to develop and broaden the diversity of our Board of Trustees, ensuring we have a variety of perspectives and backgrounds and are particularly interested in receiving local applications.
