Bath, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

Being a Visitor Experience Officer for the National Trust is all about people - connecting with them, inspiring them, and making sure they have the best possible day when they come to visit.

If you love working with all kinds of people, and you’re excited by the Trust’s cause - to protect and care for places so that people and nature can thrive - then this could be the job for you.

As Dyrham Park is open 7 days a week, the working pattern for this role includes working one in three weekends. While this role is mainly based at Dyrham Park, you will also work at Prior Park Landscape Garden.

Interviews W/C 29th April.

What it's like to work here:Working as part of the visitor experience team, you will be based across Dyrham Park and Prior Park Landscape Garden.

Dyrham Park has recently completed a £3.3m transformation of the presentation and interpretation of the house, including the delivery of a new exhibition space, redecoration, conservation, new lighting and new interpretation throughout. In the parkland, Dyrham has also recently opened a new play area and café at Old Lodge, whilst the project to transform the West Garden is ongoing with the new parterre due to be completed in spring 2024.

Over the last two years Prior Park Landscape Garden has undergone major restoration on its historic dams. Built in the mid-1700s, both time and the destructive American signal crayfish had taken their toll on these structures and the dams were in need of major and expert attention. With the construction phase of the project now complete, reflections of the Palladian Bridge can be enjoyed in the middle lake, which has been empty since 2017.

What you'll be doing:As Visitor Experience Officer, your main focus will be on providing a great service for visitors. With your team, you’ll be welcoming people and inspiring them to really get to know Dyrham Park and Prior Park Landscape Garden. This might include improving visitor services and facilities, running activities or developing tours, and creating other ways of bringing the place, and its stories, to life for everyone who comes here.

You’ll be sharing with others your love for your work and the place itself. You might be encouraging visitors to take a closer look at artworks or precious objects cared for by the Trust. You will be supervising and supporting volunteers and organising rotas. You will share responsibility for standards of presentation on site, and helping create the best experience possible.
