The Visitor Experience
& Event Assistant roles are a core part of the Cultural Venues delivery
team, at the heart of a new Culture & Archive Service, created from the 8
legacy councils within the North Yorkshire County, who have now combined to
form North Yorkshire unitary council. The Service also sits within a newly
formed Community Development Directorate alongside Economic Development,
Housing, Planning, Leisure, Libraries and Major Venues/Events.

Our new
organisation recognises and wants to build on North Yorkshire's natural
capital, strong local economy, and resilient communities, to improve the way
local services are delivered and to support a good quality of life for all.

Our service
contributes to all five North Yorkshire Council key themes of place and environment, economy, health
and wellbeing, people, and organisation; and through legacy
council culture and archives teams who have been embedded in many North
Yorkshire communities, the new service also occupies a unique position to
deliver on the four locality working pillars of local services and
access; local accountability; local action; and local
empowerment.

The Culture &
Archives Service is divided into three main branches: Creative & Cultural Hubs
- our physical creative, cultural and heritage buildings, and collections;
Archives & Records Hub - our extensive county-wide archives and records
collection; and Creative & Cultural Communities - our community outreach,
sector support, major projects and interventions and co-creation/place-shaping
work.

This post will sit
within our Creative & Cultural Hubs branch and is responsible for ensuring
a professional visitor experience for attendees at our cultural venues in
Skipton and Harrogate, working closely with museum, exhibition, creative
programme, and business development colleagues.

Though the majority
of community-based projects, initiatives and sector support will be looked
after by the Creative & Cultural Communities branch, all three teams within
the service will naturally work collaboratively across various strands of
activity including, but not limited to: community engagement, education,
accessibility & cultural entitlement, place-shaping and tourism
- maximising use of our cultural hubs and physical assets as part of this
delivery.
