Monitor visitor areas and report hazards, incidents, maintenance issues, or security concerns promptly.

· Assist in maintaining a safe and secure environment for visitors, volunteers, staff, and collections.

· Follow safeguarding procedures and escalate concerns appropriately.

Additional Support

Provide support during special events, open days, and community activities.
Undertake other duties commensurate with the role that are reasonably required to support the visitor experience and the effective operation of the museum.
