As an Attraction Assistant in Ellesmere Port you will be part of a team working across different departments of retail, food and beverage, as well as being that wonderful warm person who welcomes everyone they see and aims to ensure that every visit is memorable. The role is incredibly diverse and may include welcoming tour groups, selling popular merchandise, assisting with events and activities, making a delicious cappuccino & tasty sandwich, directing families around the site, selling ice cream, liaising with boaters, dressing up in traditional costume, assisting with demonstrations and working very closely with volunteers*… the list goes on. It can be very diverse but there are few people that can say that they work on such an iconic site. We run most days of the week throughout the year, so you'll be scheduled on a rota with the rest of your team.
