Membership & Visitor Welcome Assistant x 3

Do you love working with people from all ages and backgrounds? As the Membership and Visitor Welcome Assistant it's your role to ensure that every aspect of our visitor experience is going to delight our customers.

What it's like to work here

A mock gothic castle on the shores of Lake Windermere, this property was unusually acquired with no content or collections. In place of grand possessions, the rooms host an array of family-friendly activities and we are looking for imaginative and engaging people who will help make a trip to Wray Castle memorable for our visitors. With outdoor activities including den building and trails, you will need plenty of energy and enthusiasm if you'd like to work here.

What you'll be doing

As the largest conservation charity in Europe we work hard to raise funds, so that we can continue to care for all the heritage in our trust. Visitors are a vital part of what we do, so you'll be responsible for ensuring that you provide an excellent service to all our visitors, every day.

You'll be asked to confidently sell membership and gift aid on entry, as well as work to our sales targets. You'll also be responsible for answering queries and making sure visitors can find everything they need for their visit. When interacting with our customers, you'll inform them of the amazing work we are doing and what their money is funding, promoting local projects or our national strategy.

Please note the successful candidate will start their employment after Christmas
