We are looking for a Visitor Assistant to join us at Old Sarum Castle, working a minimum of 14 hours per week April to October, and a zero hours contract November to March.

No history background? No problem. What is important to us is a passion for people and excellent customer service. We want our staff to enjoy working with others as part of a team and understand what makes excellent customer service to deliver an engaging visitor experience to a diverse audience.

We are the organisation that looks after England's most important buildings and monuments, making sure our country's amazing history is available for everyone to enjoy.

As an Old Sarum Castle Visitor Assistant, you will join an amazing team of employees and volunteers, making sure visitors have a great time from the moment they arrive until they say goodbye.

Occupying a dramatic position on the outskirts of Salisbury, Old Sarum Castle boasts more than 2000 years of fascinating history. The site was first settled by the Celts, who constructed an impressive fortification against invasion, which was then re-used by the Normans when William the Conqueror built one of his first castles within the Iron Age earthworks, the first cathedral of Salisbury soon followed. Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine was held captive within the castle walls before disputes between the town and the church led to the abandonment of Old Sarum to build the new town and cathedral of Salisbury in the plains below. The town of Old Sarum ended its days as a notorious 'Rotten Borough', but today welcomes 50,000 visitors who come for the epic views, large scale events and enjoy picturesque walks around the ramparts.

By joining us as a Old Sarum Visitor Assistant, you will join an amazing team of employees and volunteers, making sure visitors have a great time from the moment they arrive until they say goodbye. Working as part of a team, you will deliver a warm welcome to everyone and by connecting with our visitors, you will help to personalise their visit through your recommendations. This could include raising awareness of the benefits of membership options or recommending things to see and do on site. You will ensure your site is accessible, safe and well presented at all times. It is a varied role and some days will be busy from start to finish, whereas others may be quieter especially on the wetter days No two days are the same.

We continually look for new ways to promote the past in a way that is inclusive to all and that celebrates the cultural diversity of England's heritage.
