Company: Brooklands Museum

Job description: Location : Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 0QN, United Kingdom Role overview

Brooklands Museum, in Weybridge, Surrey is on the 32-acre site of the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit and the most productive aircraft factories in Europe in the twentieth century. The stories of motor sport and aviation at this site are bound together from the beginning and share key themes of innovation, entrepreneurship and outstanding human endeavour. We are an independent charity and we welcome over 160,000 visitors each year including over 13,000 school students as part of our award-winning learning programme.

As we are a visitor attraction, our priority is delivering a memorable and inspiring experience for all visitors and ensuring we meet our commitment of ‘Brooklands at its best, every day’. So, no matter what role you join us in, you will have a very important part to play in this.

We are currently looking for Casual Museum Assistants to join our Front of House team in readiness for our busy and exciting 2024 season.

As part of the Front of House Team, you will report to our Admissions & Retail Management Manager and play your part to ensure that the Museum consistently provides a high-quality experience to all.

You are the face of the museum for our visitors and will be the first and maybe the last team of people our visitors will see! Your interactions with our visitors can really make someone’s visit special. With knowledge and enthusiasm, you will help visitors to find their way around our collections, share stories and facts about the Museum to help every visitor understand ‘it happened here at Brooklands’ and help us deliver ’an incredible day out’ every day.
