Historian

About us

The Tudor Trust is a grant-making organisation with a long-standing commitment to funding smaller, grassroots organisations.  We are winding down our current grant-making strategy and are reevaluating and developing a new strategy centred around racial, social and economic justice.

In tandem with our strategy review, we are undergoing a comprehensive change process, which includes refreshing our Board and rebuilding our staff team.

Tudor is looking to research and understand its past in detail as it makes this significant transformation.

About the role

Ahead of Tudor Trust’s 70th anniversary in 2025, a moment that coincides with the transitioning of the Board from family to independent trustees, we are looking for a historian of postwar Britain to produce a comprehensive report that celebrates Tudor’s impact, marks key milestones of change in the organisation’s history, and reflects on the social and political context in which Tudor has developed since 1955.

You will work with Tudor’s archives (and begin the process of cataloguing them), conduct oral histories with internal and external stakeholders, and write a comprehensive report that narrates and analyses Tudor’s 70-year history.
