You will also work alongside the wider property team consisting of our Rangers, Facilities Programming, Partnerships and Food & Beverage Teams.
Formby is a highly designated and much-loved coastal site, which welcomes around 1.16 million visitors annually. It’s not without its challenges and we are always looking at the best ways to manage this site for nature and people too.
You’ll also work across the portfolio at Rufford Old Hall, a Tudor mansion in Ormskirk home to 500 years of Hesketh family history. Every day is different in the portfolio, so all of our team are enthusiastic, flexible and able to think on their feet.

You’ll be responsible for answering queries and making sure visitors can find everything they need for their visit. Understanding how and why we engage our supporters is key.

customer focused with an understanding of the importance of great service
a team player, but also can work on your own initiative
well organised and adaptable
willing to learn new skills
have a positive attitude
