Are you passionate about customer service and working with others to achieve nature’s recovery?
We are currently recruiting for a Visitor Centre Assistant to join our Visitor Centre Team, helping to deliver a consistent, high
quality experience to visitors at our busy Attenborough Nature Centre Visitor Centre.
We are looking for someone with experience of working in a busy, high-footfall environment providing excellent customer service.

You’ll have guidance and support from our Team Leader and friendly colleagues, but we really want you to think on your feet and
‘put yourself in the customer’s shoes’.
Customer Service/ Front of House / Barista experience are beneficial but not essential as training will be provided.
