Summary
**Important notice**
In line with our redeployment policy, we’ll prioritise applications from employees who are under formal notice of redundancy.
As the public face of our properties, you’ll provide a warm, friendly welcome, give information about the property, answer questions and make sure everyone has an enjoyable and memorable visit.
Salary: £12.75 per hour
Contract/duration: February - start of November 2026
Hours: This is a zero-hour contract, meaning we can’t guarantee a set number of hours each week. While we aim to provide a consistent work pattern, flexibility is needed as schedules may change based on business needs. We’ll try to give as much notice as possible. The role includes weekends and Bank Holidays but does not require evening or split shifts.
Interview date: Friday 16th January 2026
For this role, you’ll need to complete our online assessment instead of using a C.V. or online application form. This will help us understand more about your strengths and give you more information on the role.
What it's like to work here
Reporting to the Welcome Manager, you’ll be part of a team of Welcome and Service Assistants working at the Cheshire Landscapes portfolio.
The welcome team at the Cheshire Landscapes portfolio help to support the iconic Little Moreton Hall, the tranquil garden of Hare Hill, and the magical woodland of Alderley Edge. We also look after Castlefield Viaduct, a new green space in Manchester city centre, and there may be occasional opportunities for anyone interested to help support the team there too.
The portfolio requires the team to balance their time well, prioritising the peak seasons for visitors to all our places. Working across these different sites means no two days are the same. We have a mix of long standing and new team members, all committed to delivering excellent service.
What you'll be doing
Day to day, you’ll deliver a great all-round customer service experience. You’ll be on hand answering queries and listen to what our visitors need so you can share the right information. Your role is to make sure our visitors have the best day they can. You’ll have the chance to be involved in different aspects of the visitor experience, from key property events to social media promotion - no two days are the same.
Great visitor experiences are in our nature, and we believe everyone should feel welcomed, appreciated and more engaged because of the excellent service you provide. This role would suit anyone with enthusiasm for delivering great customer service.
