Job Description
National Collections Group is responsible for all aspects of the stewardship, management and
public understanding and enjoyment of the national collections of historic properties, artefacts
and archives in EH's care.
At the end of 2013 the Stonehenge property operation was radically transformed, with the
opening of a new visitor centre at Airmans Corner, containing museum-quality displays, a
temporary exhibitions gallery, education space, ticketing and membership points, and an inhouse operated caf and shop.
The significant changes brought about by the project, will have a dramatic impact on the size
of the operation in business terms. Visitor numbers are expected to rise from 1.1m to 1.25m
by 2016/17, and income from a budget of 8.67m in 2012/13 to 16.4m over the same period.
Similarly, expenditure is expected to rise from 2.64m to 5.3m by 2016/17. In support of
this, staffing levels will also rise significantly, from 44 FTE to almost 80 FTE, in addition to a
large team of volunteers working on site.
