Crynodeb
Your role of Steward at Historic Environment Scotland’s Doune Castle will be one of 3 Part Year Permanent (21hrs/week Apr-Sep x 1, 21hrs/week May-Oct x 1, or 35hrs/week Jun-Sep x 1) and 1 Fixed Term position (35hrs/week 16 Mar-31 Oct). See ‘Overview of the role and more about my team’ for further information on working hours/patterns).
Are you looking for a flexible seasonal job that is both fun and unique? You'll get an exceptional view into Scotland's rich history and gain valuable experience in the tourism industry and help bring Scotland's dramatic history to life for our visitors from across the world. Explore the fascinating stories from Scotland's past and share your passion with international and local visitors who come to Doune Castle during the season.
This role is based at Central Mid District’s flagship site; therefore, the successful candidate will make a meaningful contribution to Scotland’s tourism industry and local economy by encouraging visits beyond the typical tourism destinations to the rural areas.
Doune Castle attracts visitors who are interested in its film/TV heritage (principally Outlander, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Outlaw King and Game of Thrones), as well as its history. Doune Castle employs a team of around 20 stewards, who may witness rather unusual behaviour, such as visitors ‘cantering’ around the courtyard to the clatter of coconuts.
Reporting to the Monument Managers, the team sits within the Mid District of Central Regions Visitor and Community (V&C) Team. The district is comprised of twenty-six monuments, of which ten are staffed (including Doune Castle). Other staffed properties within the district include Castle Campbell, Dunblane Cathedral, Elcho Castle, Huntingtower Castle, Inchmahome Priory, Lochleven Castle, Meigle Sculptured Stone Museum, Stanley Mills and St Serfs Church.
