Visits & Tours Officer (part-time)

Southwark Cathedral is the oldest Gothic church in London and a popular destination for visitors. We are situated in the heart of the vibrant, and every-changing Bankside area close to Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe and The Shard.

The Visits & Tours Officer will work closely with the Retail and Visitor Services Manager to promote the Cathedral nationally and internationally as a visitor attraction and as a means of achieving challenging targets for income growth from the Cathedral's tourist-related activities. They will handle all tour group administration, supporting the team of volunteer guides, and also undertaking tours on occasions. They will also work as part of a team ensuring that those who visit the Cathedral receive the highest possible quality of welcome and learn about the history and ministry of this place.

You will ideally have some Visitors management experience in the heritage or church sector, and some experience of working with volunteers will be an advantage. You should have good presentational skills, and be able to deliver an interesting tour of the Cathedral.

In sympathy with the aims and objectives of the Christian Church and the Anglican tradition, you will be an excellent administrator able to show, and act on, your initiative.

Southwark Cathedral values the diversity of skills and talents that people of all backgrounds bring.
