Penrith, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

Working as one of our Car Park Assistants you will be a key part in delivering a fantastic welcome to our visitors in the Lake District. This role will welcome visitors in the Aira Force car parks, processing car park payments and helping visitors with their day.

What it's like to work here:Ullswater valley is truly breath-taking, with its beautiful lake nestled amongst towering fells. The epic scenery and relative underdevelopment compared to other areas of the Lake District gives Ullswater a secluded and tranquil feel.

Our largest property in Ullswater is Aira Force, a showcase for the power and beauty of nature; it’s a place to escape the ordinary.

For 300 years visitors have been drawn here, where rainwater runs from the fells into Aira Beck and thunders in one 65-foot leap over the falls. Yet, Aira Force is much more than an impressive waterfall. A network of trails weaves its way from Ullswater lakeshore to Gowbarrow summit, passing towering Himalayan firs, rare red squirrels, woodland glades, picnic spots and views out across Ullswater.
- This role will mainly be based at Aira Force, but you may be asked to work in other locations with prior arrangement._

What you'll be doing:You’ll be working outside, meeting and greeting our visitors, providing help and guidance on where to park and may be required to sell parking tickets. You'll help to keep the car park and surrounding area in good order, and provide a courteous and informative service to our visitors.

You’ll also be responsible for answering queries and making sure visitors can find everything they need for their visit. When interacting with our customers, you’ll inform them of the amazing work we are doing and what their money is funding, promoting local projects or promoting our cause.

As this is an outdoors role, you'll need to be comfortable working in all weather conditions.

**Please also read the full role profile attached to this advert.**

- Helpful & Friendly
- Customer focused with a positive attitude
- Enthusiastic with a willingness to learn
- A team player, but also can work on your own initiative.
