Crom Estate, bordering the Irish Republic on the southern shores of Upper Lough Erne, consists of tranquil islands, ancient woodlands, parkland and wetlands making it a perfect home for a huge variety of plants and animals. It is an ancient landscape which includes the ruins of the old castle and is an internationally important conservation site.

With your endless passion for our work, you’ll help with the protection and care of habitats, wildlife, property and machinery, and you will inspire others to love these beautiful places as much as you do. We want you to engage with visitors, making time to talk to them, not rushing away to the next task.

You’ll make sure that, at every twist and turn of these fantastic landscapes, we’re delivering outstanding outdoors experiences and excellent conservation work. You’ll share our common goal with customers and build relationships in the local community, proudly representing National Trust. So whether you’re maintaining our green spaces to assisting with guided visitor walks, through to delivering a wide range of engaging visitor experiences, no two days will be the same.

You’ll also share and promote the work that we do here, ensuring special places like these are here to be both protected and enjoyed by everyone for ever. This will see you responding to queries and explaining the value of the work being undertaken. After all, your passion and dedication could fire the imagination that makes a visitor become a supporter for the rest of their life.
