The Visitor Economy is worth over £600 million to Calderdale and in realising our Vision 2034, Calderdale is harnessing its ambition as a must-see Visitor Destination. Calderdale is a place that offers something locally distinct and creative and demonstrates resilience, reinvention, kindness and inclusivity.
As part of growing the service and to develop the customer experience, the service is looking to recruit a Tourism & Heritage Assistant, who will support the delivery of Calderdale’s Market Food Tours, and other associated tours and income generating activities, alongside the team of volunteers/colleagues from the Tourism Team.
The Calderdale Market Food Tours are a collaborative initiative between Visit Calderdale, Calderdale Markets team and local market traders, with the objectives of:
1) Raising awareness of the market offer and bringing more people into the market;
2) Creating more income opportunities for market traders and for Calderdale Council
Currently, the Halifax Borough Market Food Tour runs one Friday and one Saturday per month, although there are opportunities to run more tours in other market locations in the future. Over two hours, visitors learn about the market’s rich history, sample a variety of local and international food, and hear fascinating stories from market traders. The tours have been running since December 2024, and have proven very popular, regularly selling out on a weekend.
We are now recruiting this exciting position to support the delivery of the Market Food Tours, alongside other potential income generating activities. The ideal candidate will have experience of leading or supporting guided tour activities and of working with volunteers. They will be able to demonstrate strong communication and organisational skills and have experience in a customer facing role.
Closing Date: Sunday 5th October 2025
Interview Date: Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th October
We may utilise digital interview methods.
As part of our Vision (https://www.calderdale.gov.uk/vision/) we aim to be a talented, resilient and inclusive community. We welcome applications from all and offer a variety of flexible working / job share opportunities.
On 30 January 2019, the Council declared a climate emergency in a bold move to step up its action to tackle climate change.
Calderdale Council embraces the positive benefits of a diverse workforce and we are committed to providing an environment that is inclusive. We encourage applications from people who share our commitment to challenge inequality and promote diversity across Calderdale. We particularly welcome applications from communities that are currently under-represented in our organisation. All applications are anonymised before being seen by the selection panel.
