Would you like to work for the charity that cares for hundreds of historic sites in every corner of England? We are looking for a Visitor Assistant to join us at Kirby Hall working working 8-16 hours per week (changing to a zero-hours hour contract November through to March).

No history background? No problem. What is important to us is a passion for people and excellent customer service. You will enjoy working with others as part of a team and understand what makes excellent customer service to deliver an engaging visitor experience to a diverse audience.

Heritage is for everybody, and we are here for heritage.

Heritage lives in places and people, memories and stories, artefacts and traditions. It can connect us all to the past, and to each other. It can make us happier, strengthen every community, and help shape society for the better. Everybody should be able to enjoy the benefits it brings. That's why, as a charity, we care for over a million objects and hundreds of historic sites in every part of England, from international icons to local treasures. And it's why we open them up, share their stories and find new ways for everybody to enjoy, learn, play and create.

Kirby Hall is one of England's great Elizabethan houses, set within beautiful grounds and gardens. Although partly ruined, the site retains a strong sense of its former grandeur and offers visitors the chance to explore its impressive architecture, historic spaces and peaceful surroundings. The Visitor Assistant team plays an important role in helping visitors enjoy and understand the site, while ensuring Kirby Hall remains welcoming, safe and well presented.

By joining us as a Kirby Hall Visitor Assistant, you will be part of an amazing team of employees and volunteers, ensuring visitors have a great time from the moment they arrive until they say goodbye.

Through your recommendations, you will help personalise their visit. This could include talking about the benefits of English Heritage membership, recommending things to see and do on site, or helping visitors make the most of their time at Kirby Hall.

You will also contribute to making sure the site is accessible, safe and well presented at all times.

It is a varied role. Some days will be busy from start to finish, while others may be quieter, especially on wetter days. Some paid or voluntary experience with the public is beneficial, but full training and support will be provided as part of your induction.

You will be required to work though the summer holiday period including weekends and Bank Holidays. More information will be provided at interview.

Benefits include:

Comprehensive training

The opportunity for career progression within the heritage sector in retail, food and beverage or general management

Apprenticeship opportunities

Opportunities to go to some of our great live music and history events

Free access to all English Heritage sites for you, and up to 6 friends and / or family members

25% discount in our shops and cafes

Enhanced maternity/paternity/shared parental leave

25 days' holiday plus Bank Holidays pro rata rising to 28 days after 3 years

Options to buy additional leave

Matched pension contributions up to a maximum of 10%

Everybody's welcome at English Heritage

Forget the stereotypes. It takes thousands of people from every background to care for England's heritage and open it up for everybody to enjoy. We're looking for every type of person with every kind of skill and experience, and we're committed to making sure that English Heritage is an equitable, diverse and inclusive place to work. You can connect with others through our EDI networks as a member or ally. These include Ethnic Diversity, Faith & Belief, Social Equity, LGBTQ+, Neurodivergence, Age, Disability and Gender Health and Wellbeing.

We take wellbeing seriously. We are committed to ensuring everyone feels safe at work and can carry out their role. To support this, we have a network of Mental Health First aiders, regular information and awareness events, unlimited access to an Employee Assistance Programme and work with our people to implement reasonable adjustments.

If you would like to talk to us before you apply e.g. about workplace adjustments or working patterns, please contact Jan Vandeburie, Kirby Hall site manager, on [email protected] No agencies please.
