SalaryIt's no small task. In fact, it's a big team effort and it's why our Collections Assistant are so important.
This salary will be applicable from 1st April 2024.
This beautiful Tudor mansion is situated high above the River Tamar, with Dartmoor National Park and many unspoilt beaches nearby. The property is brimming with character, and is home to many colourful tapestries, armours and artefacts. The team pride themselves on providing superb customer service, and the family atmosphere amongst the 65-member team makes Cotehele a very special place to work. Due to its location, it's likely you will need your own transport to get here.
As a Collections Assistant, you'll be working with a great housekeeping team in an incredible place, helping with the day-to-day cleaning and care of the collections, with the majority of the work being routine vacuuming and dusting. No detail will go unnoticed, and you'll keep a keen eye on everything from the environmental conditions in a room, to signs of wear and tear. You'll keep accurate records too. The 15 hours a week will be split across four to five mornings, including Sunday.
In this visitor facing role, we'd love you to talk to visitors about the work you're doing, and the collections we have. You'll also be part of the wider team of employees and volunteers, helping to cover where necessary.
We'd love to hear from you if you have;
- a team player, but can also work on your own initiative
- well organised and adaptable
- customer focused with a positive attitude
- willing to learn new skills
- good manual dexterity and hand-to-eye skills and ability to work from ladders and tower scaffold
