About us
Who we are
Waddesdon is an historic house and garden open to the public. Created by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild from 1874, it is home to the Rothschild Collection. Waddesdon’s collections are exceptionally rich in fine and decorative arts of the 18th century, assembled by three generations of the Rothschild family. Since 1957 the Manor has been owned by the National Trust and today it is managed by a charitable trust, The Rothschild Foundation, under the chairmanship of Lord Rothschild.
Waddesdon welcomes over 400,000 visitors to the property each year and we offer a programme of changing exhibitions, talks and tours, family activities and public events. Visitors are both National Trust members and paying visitors, and the income from our shops, restaurants, events and filming helps support opening the Manor to the public, our education programme and the care of the buildings, collections and gardens
Our culture and values
The Rothschild Foundation delivers funding programmes both locally, in its home county of Buckinghamshire, and nationally, across England. Our areas of interest are Arts and Culture and Regenerative Food and Farming, where we make a number of multi-year investments each year, as well as operating a Community Fund which provides small grants to support local communities.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We offer hybrid working with some home-working, with Wednesday a dedicated day with the department all in the office.
Through our funding we are committed to making a difference across all communities. In our organisation we are looking to increase the diversity of our workforce and welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply for this role.
