Join the Chester House Estate Team

The Chester House Estate, supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, is exploring future governance options to ensure our long-term sustainability and maximise our cultural, tourism and heritage offer.

We are seeking an experienced consultant to lead this pivotal project, developing a robust governance model backed by detailed legal, financial and operational planning. This project proposal will outline a range of viable governance models, including maintaining current council-led operations or transitioning to an alternative structure such as a charitable trust

Key Focus Areas Include:

• Designing and evaluating governance structures
• Legal and financial compliance (Charity Commission, TUPE, procurement)

• Creating a phased implementation roadmap

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of one of Northamptonshire’s most significant heritage assets. If you’ve led governance transformation projects in the cultural or non-profit sectors and are passionate about legacy and sustainability, we want to hear from you.
