English Heritage cares for over 400 historic monuments, buildings and places - from world-famous prehistoric sites to grand medieval castles, from Roman forts on the edges of an empire to a Cold War bunker.

The historic places in our care span six millennia and include palaces, houses, hill figures, castles, abbeys, industrial sites, Roman forts and even deserted medieval villages. Caring for these places and their collections for the benefit of this and future generations is a cornerstone of everything we do.

Wherever you are in England, you're never very far from one of our castles. They come in all shapes and sizes, and span the entire period of castle-building from the Norman Conquest in 1066 to early Tudor times. Many of them were frequently updated throughout this period and beyond, keeping up with developments in warfare or increasing standards of comfort.

Unleash your imagination and unravel the mysteries of time at our many prehistoric sites, stone circles, ritual landscapes, burial mounds, hillforts and settlements which span nearly four mysterious millennia of England's story.

Palaces provided sanctuary not just for monarchs such as the young Henry VIII but also travelling medieval bishops and - in the amazing Art Deco extravaganza they created - 1930s millionaires. Take a sneak peek and discover the stories behind some of our grandest palaces.

We work with hundreds of sites, too many to list here. If you're curious about the roles we have open, click below.

Visitor experience is at the heart of everything we do.  


We care for historic places all across the country and wherever you work you'll find a great team, who are passionate about their property and committed to delivering an outstanding experience for our visitors and generating vital income for the charity.

You will find a variety of roles at our historic sites, from Food and Beverage Assistants to Site Managers, and from Beach Rangers to Hands on History Crew. Throughout the year we regularly recruit for Visitor Assistant, Food and Beverage Assistant and Membership Recruiter roles at most of our places on a permanent and seasonal basis.
