Summary
As the public face of our properties, you’ll provide a warm, friendly welcome, give information about the property, answer questions and make sure everyone has an enjoyable and memorable visit.
Salary: £12.75
Contract/duration: Fixed term contract until 28-Feb-2027
Hours/working pattern: Seasonal, flexible, weekends. 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.
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.
What it's like to work here
Reporting to the Welcome Manager, you’ll be part of a flexible team working at Trelissick Garden.
What you'll be doing
Day to day, you’ll deliver a great all-round customer service experience. You’ll be on hand answering queries and listen to what our visitors need so you can share the right information. Your role is to make sure our visitors have the best day they can. You’ll have the chance to be involved in different aspects of the visitor experience, from key property events to social media promotion - no two days are the same.
On a day to day basis you will be meeting & greeting visitors within the Reception areas and helping to manage their expectation of having a fantastic time whilst visiting Trelissick and promoting the benefits of being a member of the National Trust. Greeting visitors on arrival at our car parks, identifying car parking spaces, signposting visitors to where they may wish to go on site, taking car parking payments and again promoting the benefits of being a member of the National Trust.
