What it’s like to work here
As part of a supportive team of staff and Volunteers you will be answering weird and wonderful questions. Be prepared to work inside and outside to help with busy day working. Come rain or sun, we are there for our visitors. We are a 364 property, so there is an expectation to work Boxing day/New Years day. We’re expecting a busy year here at Charlecote for our 2023 season, we’re coming to the end of 5 major projects and we are currently in the process of being one of the first properties to install EV Charge points, gearing up to our new visitor reception building.
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. As a Welcome & Service Assistant, it’s your role to ensure that the welcome our visitors receive is perfect, setting them up for an amazing experience for the rest of the day.
You’ll be responsible for answering queries and making sure visitors can find everything they need for their visit. Understanding how and why we engage our supporters is key. Working with our spirit of place you’ll work with the visitor welcome team to link everything we do back to our cause and the on-going work we do.
You’ll deliver high standards of presentation at the property, and ensure all our communications with our visitors are clear and consistent, from the first click on the website, to the posters and signs around the property.
