This role is a 12 month fixed term contract, Part-Time, annualised hours contract where you can work 16 hours per week over two days.
The Opportunity
This position is an amazing opportunity for someone who is looking for flexibility in their working life. The centre is open Monday to Thursday 10:00 – 16:00 and Friday 10:00 – 2:30. The demand of tours may require you to work additional hours to your regular 16 hours in a week. You may be required to work less than 16 hours on weeks where there is less demand for guided tours. Your hours are completed over the year from April to March and you must meet your annualised hours total.
