Ghost Tour Guide

There are 2 positions available, one in Bristol and the other Bath. Please specify which city you are interested in guiding in with your application. As a Tour guide, experience is preferred but not essential as training and full scripts will be provided for our tours. Most importantly, will be an outgoing personality, strong speaking voice and a theatrical flair. Our tours are a lot of fun and consequently we need people to deliver them with energy and enthusiasm. You will need to be able to guide groups of between 2 and 35 people around Bristol or Bath entertaining them with our scripted narrative, but you'll also need to be able to answer questions, so some independent research may be required. Very basic money handling via a card machine will be required, again training will be provided. Each tour lasts for approximately 105 minutes, so reasonable level of fitness and again a strong voice is necessary.

For the Ghost Tours, an element of acting is required from the guides. Each guide has their own character and costume, help with characterisation will be provided, but guides source their own costumes. Successful applicants will have learned a script in full before starting work, this is essential so please only apply if you are confident of learning a full script.

This role is not suitable for anyone with a timid disposition, and again, a good strong voice is essential for this position. Please only apply if you're confident with people, outgoing and are happy to lead groups of people in the night throughout the year.

We have regular Ghost Tours as well as many private group tours, you will be expected to be able to guide either, and our tours operate on every night of the week.

The position is offered on a sub-contractual basis.
