Drop in open days for paid and volunteer roles

Wednesday 15 & Saturday 18 January 2014, 10am-1pm. 
 
At Beningbrough, we have an exciting range of opportunities available in both paid employment and as a volunteer. We are always looking for ways to better bring our property to life and to create a very enjoyable visit for everyone who comes through our doors. This is from the warm welcome they receive, to ensuring they enjoy their wander round the garden and house, to the opportunities they will be offered to receive further information through talks and walks and that they are given the tools to enjoy their day, their way. Everything we do, contributes to this.

We are recruiting paid seasonal roles within retail and admissions, visitor services team within the house and also catering staff within the catering team. We are looking for people to join our teams who love to engage, are enthusiastic and have a passion for heritage and customer service.Meet the head of department and pick up a role profile and application form.

As an organisation who are continually looking for ways to improve our service, make our spaces accessible to more and more people and inspire all ages through the history and story of the property, we are always looking for volunteer support to help us achieve this. However, volunteering and working with the National Trust is definitely a two way partnership. As a heritage site we can provide a whole range of opportunities to get involved with. From front of house roles which involve sharing our stories with school children and engaging our day visitors, to the behind the scenes conservation or admin work, there is something for everyone. We want all of our volunteers to have a great experience with us and so, we think it's really important that they get the best from their role. Whether it is to enhance their CV, gain new skills, increase confidence, put previous skills gained to good use or to expand their social circle through meeting new people, we aim to provide opportunities for all of these to happen.

We have a number of new exciting volunteer roles on offer in 2014, from a photography volunteer to help us 'capture the moment', to tour guides to help us interest and excite our visitors about our history, to volunteer support of film generation and editing to enhance our website and social media. These are just some of the volunteer roles we will be recruiting for this year.

If you're thinking you'd like to get involved in something new this year, looking to build or enhance your CV or wanting to gain new skills in a beautiful, historical setting...then come and see us on Wednesday 15th or Saturday 18th January between 10am and 1pm. You can meet the team, explore the opportunities and have a chat to find out more.
