Hopetown Darlington opens its doors this summer as the region’s most exciting and newest visitor attraction. This ambitious project extends across a 7.5-acre site and will encompass a wagon themed play park, an immersive time travel experience ride, and will even include a gallery to watch live engineering in action. In addition, visitors can enjoy touring exhibitions, a reimagined state of the art museum and entertaining festivals and events for the whole family.

A spacious café and shop are also part of this incredible site which is steeped in Darlington’s rail heritage and will offer a family day out like no other. The venue will attract upwards of 300,000 visits annually, of which up to 100,000 are expected to be from outside the region. Hopetown Darlington is seeking inspired and driven individuals who can bring personality, energy and enthusiasm to the team.

As a Retail and Admissions Team member you will be bursting with personality, energy and positivity to deliver the highest standard of customer service excellence at Hopetown Darlington. Your role will be front facing and therefore you will have a passion for customer service as you welcome and assist a diverse cross section of the public to the venue. In addition, as you work across both the shop and the admissions desk, you will not only drive ticket and merchandise sales but look to creatively upsell wherever possible.

Working in the shop you will create outstanding visual merchandise displays and utilise your in-depth product knowledge of the entire merchandise range. Working on admissions you will adopt an ‘above and beyond’ approach to visitors which is essential to ensure all customers’ needs are met, and you will possess a high level of communication skills. Your working week will be nothing short of varied and stimulating and as an ambassador for Hopetown Darlington you will bring a creative flare to this dynamic, front facing role.

The rewards for working at Darlington Borough Council go beyond the salary you will receive; we have numerous additional benefits such as:

- 32 days Annual Leave (pro rata) plus Bank Holidays, with the option to purchase additional Annual Leave
- Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme with the option to make Additional Voluntary Contributions
- Flexi-time scheme
- Flexible working
- Generous Maternity, Paternity and Adoption Leave schemes
- Staff equality forums
- Green Car Leasing Scheme
- Access to a wide range of training, learning and development
- Physiotherapy service
- Confidential counselling service
