**Casual Assistant - The D-Day Story**

**Salary**: approximately £12 per hour

Hours: This is a casual post - there are no set hours - you will be asked to work as and when needed.

**Portsmouth City Council**

At Portsmouth City Council we're all about developing our staff, because we want to build a bigger and better city but we need the best employees to do so.

With a little over 207,000 residents and 7,000 businesses throughout this city, this unitary authority's main goal is to ensure the best care and development of all those within the city. From customer service to multi-million pound projects, our residents are at the heart of everything we do.

**Your New Role**

The service operates 6 museum sites - The D-Day Story, Southsea Castle, Charles Dickens’ Birthplace, Cumberland House Natural History Museum, Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery & Eastney Engines. In addition, the service also operates the Visitor Information Service for the destination with stand-alone points at the Hard and within The D-Day Story and Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery.

The D-Day Story is the only UK museum dedicated to telling the events of 6th June 1944 using objects, interactives and video from the perspectives and accounts of those who were there. Divided into three distinct parts the museum includes LCT 7074, the last surviving landing craft tank which carried ten tanks to Normandy on D-Day and The Overlord Embroidery.

Within this role you will provide a great welcome for visitors and have sufficient knowledge of the museum, our offering and collection to provide information and promote current and future programmes and the city's wider cultural offer.

This role will include a range of activities including manning reception and welcoming visitors, general visitor information tasks, retail, taking messages and bookings, recording visitor numbers, assisting with events and activities, installation of exhibitions, previews and evening meetings.

A key part of this role is working at events and functions, this will include some lifting and carrying of tables and chairs and outdoor work. You will be required to be flexible as on occasion you will be asked to work at other museum sites as required.

Please also note that LCT 7074 is located outside and whilst the ship is undercover, this role may require periods of time welcoming visitors and carrying out other tasks in all weather conditions.

**What you'll need to succeed**

A team player who is flexible with their working hours, you will have excellent communication and customer care skills. Conversational skills in a foreign language would be an advantage, French preferred. With an enthusiasm for museums and history you will have a passion for the destination of Portsmouth and the local tourism product.
