The Mary Roxburghe Trust was established in late 2015 in order to rescue West Horsley Place, a Grade I listed medieval manor house and estate of great beauty and historic significance. The Trust is currently restoring the house, gardens, 380-acre estate and eight Grade II listed outbuildings to create a vibrant centre for the performing and visual arts, the teaching of crafts and the provision of a wide range of learning opportunities around heritage, history and the natural environment. The first phase of essential works has now largely taken place, and West Horsley Place is beginning to explore its charitable purpose as a centre of learning, as well as to operate as a successful events venue, film location and opera destination, amongst other things.
The Board of Trustees are now seeking exceptional candidates for the role of Director, as West Horsley Place enters the next chapter in its 1000-year history. Now the initial phase of restoration is largely complete, the new Director will help develop and deliver a vision for the next phase of the organisation. Candidates will bring a passion for, and understanding of, the arts and heritage worlds. They will be an inspiring leader and manager, a compelling communicator and advocate with a sophisticated understanding of, and experience in, fundraising.
