Derby, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

Joining a skilled and passionate Collections Team at an exciting time, you'll help develop our offer as one of the National Trust's 28 Treasure Houses and continue to deliver first-rate conservation work. It's no small task. In fact, it's a big team effort and it's why our Collections Assistants are so important.

You'll work one in four weekends and some bank holidays.

What it's like to work here:Reporting to a Collections & House Officer, you'll work within a small team of Collections Assistants to take care of the mansion, stables complex and two churches.

The vast and atmospheric Calke Abbey is home to an extensive and complex collection of over 30,000 objects, ranging from the finest têxtiles to unusual curios, vast libraries and unique natural history. The distinctive Spirit of Place and abandoned appearance of many of the rooms calls for a unique approach to conservation, with the mantra 'Repair not Restore' at the heart of all we do. Our work balances managing the precious interiors and objects, with ensuring that the 100,000+ visitors we welcome through the doors annually can access and engage with Calke and its fascinating stories.

You’ll keep accurate records too, collecting information during cleaning routines to inform our understanding of the house, stables and churches we care for.

In this visitor facing role, we’d love you to talk to visitors about the work you’re doing, and the collections we have, sharing tales from the past as well as your personal experience of working here.

- customer focused with a positive attitude
- willing to learn new skills
- good manual dexterity and hand-to-eye skills and ability to work from ladders and tower scaffold

It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
