At the end of the day we clean the site, tidy and restock so that everything is ready for the team the following day.

We are looking for people who enjoy working with others as part of a team to deliver an engaging visitor experience to a diverse audience. Training and support will be provided as part of your induction to the role, but some paid or voluntary experience working with the public may be beneficial.

You'll find it's a workplace like no other - taking you behind the scenes of these extraordinary sites and supporting you to share your ideas, inspire others and make a difference

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of England's largest conservation charities, with over 400 sites across the country. Benefits include:

- Comprehensive training covering all aspects of customer service, sales, food and beverage and retail;
- The opportunity to progress your career within the heritage sector, in retail, food and beverage or general management; apprenticeship opportunities
- Free access to all English Heritage sites for you another adult and up to 6 children (under 18 in the family group)
- 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, with the option to buy additional leave
- Matched pension contributions up to a maximum of 10% which can be paid via salary exchange or salary deduction

Everyone is welcome at English Heritage and we are always looking for people who reflect the diversity of the country today, to help us make it more relevant to the diversity of the people, communities and places we serve. From remote sites to inner city monuments, from regional teams to our Head Office, the diversity of our teams is critical to making sure our heritage is inclusive, exciting and accessible.

We continually look for new ways to promote the past in a way that is inclusive to all and that celebrates the cultural diversity of England's heritage. By joining English Heritage, you will be part of a charity that is already on an exciting journey to tell everyone's story.

Interviews will be held on 27th April online. If you are shortlisted for interview, we will as you to visit the site prior to your interview.
