We’re looking for Service Assistants to join us at Sheffield Park and Garden to help busy teams throughout our visitor operations.
This is a zero-hour contract, meaning we can’t guarantee a set number of hours each week. While we aim to provide a consistent work pattern, flexibility is needed as schedules may change based on business needs. We’ll try to give as much notice as possible. The role includes weekends and Bank Holidays but does not require evening or split shifts. You will work more shifts over school holidays and our busy Autumn period.
For this role, you’ll need to complete our online assessment instead of using a C.V. or online application form. This will help us understand more about your strengths and give you more information on the role.
Salary: £12.75 per hour.

You’ll get involved in all kinds of tasks, including greeting visitors on arrival, processing payments and members on tills, promoting membership, and helping to induct visitors on mobility vehicles.
