Durham, United Kingdom Beamish Museum Full time

We are looking for people with real passion for heritage skills and history of rural life in the Northeast. The team looks after 1820s Pockerley Old Hall, 1940s Home Farm and 1950s Spain’s Field Farm. The job involves demonstrating history of those areas using different engagement tools and techniques. We also work day-to-day with schools and community groups, making sure we always deliver the best possible experience.

We are a relatively small team that is responsible for three very different areas in the Museum. As a Rural Life engager, you will become a part of the amazing stories we are telling to visitors coming to Beamish every day. We are a very varied team you might be a Land Girl or a Farmer on Monday and Georgian Maid or a Potter on Tuesday. We are looking for passionate individuals that like variety and independence but can at the same time deliver a world class experience to our visitors.

We are recruiting for an engagement position. Although our team talks about farm life in rural Britain, we do not work directly with animals.
