Summary

We protect everything from bats to buildings to beaches - and we want to share them with everyone too. But how do we care for our special places, while helping everyone to enjoy them and their fascinating stories? It's no small task. In fact, it's a big team effort and it's why our Collections Assistant are so important.

Please note you'll be working regular bank holidays and weekends.

What it's like to work here

Reporting to the Collections and House Officer, you'll join a closely knit team of three house team members to care for, interpret and display the collections of Brockhampton. With Brockhampton's 600th birthday in 2025, you'll be joining the team at an exciting time of celebration as you work to conserve the collection for the next 600 years.

There are miles of walks through the park and woodland, featuring ancient trees, the picturesque Lawn Pool and various sculptures depicting parts of the history of Brockhampton and the local area.

What you'll be doing

As a Collections Assistant, you'll be working with a great housekeeping team in an incredible place, helping with the day-to-day cleaning and care of the collections. No detail will go unnoticed, and you'll keep a keen eye on everything from the environmental conditions in a room, to signs of wear and tear. You'll keep accurate records too.

In this visitor facing role, we'd love you to talk to visitors about the work you're doing, and the collections we have. You'll work as a team to create imaginative children's trails, displays and activities as well as engaging visitors both face to face and through social media content.

As we are a small house team, you'll work alongside and supervising our wonderful team of volunteers to deliver the best visitor experience alongside key holder duties to open/close the house on designated days.
