Welcome & Service Assistant Manager

The role of a Welcome and Service Assistant Manager with the National Trust is to uphold the highest of standards in the service we give to visitors. If you're a natural motivator, who likes to lead by example to make sure every single person feels welcome and has their best day possible, then this could be the job for you.
You're likely to be jointly managing a team of staff and volunteers, so would need to be willing and able to work weekends and bank holidays to ensure full cover.
You'll be reporting to the Welcome manager, working in a team of ten, at Tyntesfield.
You'll be making sure that the welcome every person receives when they come to visit is as good as it could be. You want them to have the best experience of visiting Tyntesfield. Everyone who comes here is contributing to the work of the Trust, in protecting and looking after places so that people and nature can thrive – now and into the future. Your warmth, your care, your high standards and your attention to detail can make all the difference to their day.
You'll support your team and help to solve problems on a daily basis. You'll know how to turn around a challenging situation, and you'll be helping your team to do the same.
You'll also be raising funds and encouraging people to join the Trust as members, always aware of how crucial these goals are to the Trust's cause. By sharing your knowledge of our conservation work both here and throughout the Trust, you'll help people to see how vital their contribution can be.
