Visitor Experience Officer

6 days ago


Warminster, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

Being a Visitor Experience Officer for the National Trust is all about people - connecting with them, inspiring them, and making sure they have the best possible day when they come to visit.

This is a fixed term contract due to end when the postholder returns to the role. At this point we cannot confirm exactly how long this contract will last, but it is unlikely to be more than 12 months.

What it's like to work here:It's an exciting time to be working for the National Trust with the launch of our new strategy and a programme full of events for 2025. You’ll be reporting to the Senior Visitor Experience Officer, working in a small and enthusiastic team, at Stourhead - one of the busiest properties in the National Trust.

Many of our events and activities take place at weekends, during school and bank holidays and outside of usual business hours, so this role will include working at these times on a rota basis.

An 18th Century Palladian mansion with a world-famous landscape garden, its no surprise that Stourhead is one of our busiest and ‘best loved’ properties. It’s a centrepiece of the community and the high level of repeat regular visitors make it a hugely rewarding place to work.

What you'll be doing:As Visitor Experience Officer, your main focus will be on providing a great service for visitors. With your team, you’ll be welcoming people and inspiring them to really get to know Stourhead. This might include devising and running events and activities, and creating interpretive displays and other ways of bringing the place, and its stories, to life for everyone who comes here. You'll encourage visitors to take a closer look at artworks or precious objects cared for by the Trust.

You might be supervising and supporting volunteers and organising rotas. You’re likely to be checking standards of presentation on site, or helping to write for our web pages.

- used to multiple deadlines and managing your own workload
- skilled in organisation and planning, with a good eye for detail
- good at talking to, and getting on with, all kinds of people
- a hard-working and committed team player
- comfortable with IT: Microsoft Office, as well as web and social media
- experienced in producing interpretive materials, such as displays and exhibitions, and marketing or promotional materials

It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
