- Check and scan tickets where needed
- Resolve visitor issues quickly, escalating to the Duty Manager when required

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your Talents
- You have worked in a visitor attraction, tourist venue or customer service role, and you know how to make people feel looked after in a crowd.
- You are outgoing, friendly and calm under pressure, and you can speak to a large group without losing your footing.
- You will also need a physical DBS certificate issued within the last five years, availability to attend the in-person assessment day on Thursday 22nd October, and flexibility across weekdays, weekends, bank holidays and the occasional evening.
- A second language would be a welcome addition.
- Please note that Queue & Ticketing positions are based entirely outdoors.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Why Apply
- Assignments run from an immediate start until approximately 31st January 2027 or July 2027, depending on the position.
- That gives you a sustained run in a high-profile visitor environment rather than a short stint.
- You will work across the museum with a range of teams and build experience that carries weight in heritage and cultural recruitment.
- Shift patterns vary, from casual and flexible to a rolling rota, so there is room to find a pattern that works for you.
NB should you not hear from us after 5 working days of your application, this means that unfortunately on this occasion you have not moved to the next stage of the recruitment process.
