As a Visitor Assistant at Pendennis Castle you will be the face of the charity, interacting with our members, visitors, volunteers and local communities, and playing a key role in generating the funds we need to care for our special places.

We are looking for people who enjoy working with others as part of a team to deliver an engaging visitor experience to a diverse audience.

From remote sites to inner city monuments, from regional teams to our Head Office, the diversity of our teams is critical to making sure our heritage is inclusive, exciting and accessible.

We continually look for new ways to promote the past in a way that is inclusive to all and that celebrates the cultural diversity of England's heritage.
