National Trust Cymru said: “While the settings may be spectacular, the job itself requires resilience, organisation and a practical mindset.
“Working across a castle and a historic house means balancing competing priorities, solving problems under pressure and working closely with a dedicated team to keep these special places open and accessible.
“Morning walks through the grounds, a commute measured in steps, and the chance to be part of a close-knit team caring for nationally significant places all come as part of the package.”
The accommodation itself is a two-bedroom flat within the castle, with its own kitchen and lounge.
The postholder will also take on the responsibility of being a key representative, alongside two other colleagues, helping to ensure the castle and its grounds are secure.
William Sharp, facilities manager for North West Wales, said: “The day-to-day role will see you coordinating contractors and managing key supplier relationships, leading and organising facilities team workstreams, and keeping a close eye on compliance planning and tracking.
“It’s a varied, hands-on role where you’ll be supporting the smooth running of two complex historic properties – and no two days are ever the same.
“We’re looking for someone who’s ready to embrace that challenge and play a vital role in caring for these special places.”
