**JOB DESCRIPTION**

**Retail and Visitor Services Assistant**

**About Painshill**
Painshill is a Grade I listed 18th century landscape garden of international renown, attracting over
100,000 visitors a year. Inspired by landscape paintings and the Grand Tour through Europe, the Hon
Charles Hamilton created Painshill between 1738 and 1773, as a living painting.

After years of neglect, the grounds fell into disrepair and in 1981, Painshill Park Trust was established to restore the landscape to its former glory. A registered charity, Painshill Park Trust is managed by a team of staff and volunteers dedicated to ensuring the history and heritage of
Hamilton’s vision for Painshill can be enjoyed by everyone ‘walking around the work of art’, discovering dramatic follies, calming waters and simply stunning views.

Our staff are part of Painshill’s ambitious plan to drive up visitor numbers and membership through visits to the Landscape, Tea Room and Garden Shop. A programme of ticketed Events throughout the year enhances our portfolio alongside Forest School and children’s seasonal camps, educating and encouraging future generations to enjoy the benefits of nature, history and the outdoors.
