Collections & House Officer

3 weeks ago

King's Lynn, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

We protect everything from bats to buildings to beaches - and we want to share them with everyone too. But how do we care for our special places, while helping everyone to enjoy them and their fascinating stories? It’s no small task. In fact, it’s a big team effort and it’s why our Collections & House Officers are so important.

Weekends, bank holidays and school holidays are often our busiest times, so you'll be required to work regular weekends - usually one weekend day per week with a day off during the week.

**Accommodation is provided to the postholder for the proper or better performance of their duties in accordance with Trust criteria and HMRC rules.**

What it's like to work here:Reporting to the Collections & House Manager, you'll play a key role in looking after the fascinating collections and interiors of the property.

This romantic 15th century manor house has a real ‘wow’ factor. With its castle-like exterior and panoramic views, Oxburgh Estate’s collection team love working in this beautiful environment. It is an exciting time as we continue to develop our visitor offer in different ways and share the wonders of the collection and interiors of the Hall with our many visitors.

We have a collection of over 5000 items, ranging from household fittings to the internationally significant Oxburgh Hangings - embroideries created by Mary Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick.

What you'll be doing:Working closely with the rest of the Collections team, you’ll be responsible for the daily opening of the House, ensuring appropriate resources are in place to provide a consistently excellent service for our visitors. You’ll line-manage our dedicated team of Visitor Host Volunteers (room guides) and take the lead on recruiting, inducting and training new volunteers into this role. A key aspect of the role will be rota management, ensuring we have sufficient volunteers to open the House and provide an excellent experience for our visitors. You’ll support the Visitor Hosts to develop their skills in conveying the many fascinating stories to our visitors, helping Oxburgh to be a friendly and welcoming place for all.

You’ll support the rest of the Collections team in the implementation and completion of conservation routines, including preventive conservation, daily cleaning and the annual deep cleaning programme within the House. This will include the line-management of a Collections Assistant.

You’ll play a part in collecting and recording information during routine conservation cleaning to inform our understanding of the house and the collection, and using preventive conservation techniques to improve how we conserve, interpret and present the property. You’ll enjoy telling visitors about our fascinating history and sharing information about our conservation work, assisting with programming and supporting regular Conservation in Action events.

You’ll help to ensure we remain compliant and work safely by supporting regular workplace inspections and keeping risk assessments and other essential documentation up to date. You’ll form part of the property duty management team, taking on the role of Duty Manager as part of a rota.

We’re keen to help you develop in the role and will ensure you get the on-the-job training you need, as well as encourage you to take up relevant learning opportunities where available.

Who we're looking forWe'd love to hear from you if you’re:

- someone who puts people first, and who knows what’s needed to make sure everyone receives great service
- able to work as part of a team, with skills in day-to-day supervision and management
- good at talking to, and getting on with, all kinds of people
- good interpersonal and communication skills, and great teamwork skills
- good organisational skills and a methodical approach
- a good understanding of preventive conservation, as well as Health & Safety and emergency procedures
- good manual dexterity and eye-to-hand skills, and the ability to work from ladders and tower scaffold
