Heritage Development Manager – Nantgarw China Works Museum

The Nantgarw China Works Trust has ambitious plans for the next decade. After growing the business over the past few years, we now wish to make a step-change in how we care for and interpret the site and enhance its viability. Reporting to the Chairman and Trustees, the appointed candidate will play a leading role in turning that aspiration into reality at this volunteer-staffed site.

Can you help us deliver our vision for the future?

Nantgarw China Works is where the world’s finest porcelain was made 200 years ago. Today it is an independent museum telling the history of ceramic production at the site, a working pottery where the lost recipe for making the historic porcelain has been successfully recreated, and an educational institution offering some 500 workshop sessions every year. The remains of the historic works are the best preserved in Wales and of UK importance.
