Visitor Host; Seasonal

Overview

Season: 11 April to 18 October (annual seasonal role)

Hours: Saturdays & Sundays, 9.00am–6.00pm (with potential additional days available)

Pay: £17.25 per hour

About the role:

Boleskine House is welcoming visitors for our 2026 season and we are looking for an engaging, confident Visitor Host to deliver a high quality visitor experience on the weekends. This is a seasonal position and would ideally suit someone who can commit to the role each year. As visitor numbers grow, there is potential for this to develop into a more regular (and potentially more full-time) role in future seasons.

We are recruiting now for a weekend position but we will consider a wider role if we meet the right candidate. Visitors will use a self-guided tour and the postholder will play a key role in welcoming guests, setting them up for their visit, and ensuring a high-quality experience throughout the day.

• Welcome visitors on arrival and provide a warm, professional first impression
• Hand out and explain the self-guided tour materials, including timings, key points of interest, and house guidance
• Liaise with members of the public throughout their visit, answering questions and supporting accessibility needs
• Manage visitor flow and support smooth operations across the day
• Host bespoke curated experiences
• Work closely with the wider weekday management team to maintain visitors safety, presentation standards, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere

• A genuine passion for Scottish history and Boleskine’s unique cultural history
• Excellent people skills: confident, warm, and able to engage a wide range of visitors
• Strong organisation and communication skills, with a calm approach during busy periods
• Reliable weekend availability across the season (11 April–18 October)
• Previous guiding, heritage, museum, tourism or hospitality experience
• Local area knowledge and/or storytelling experience

Please email info with:

• A short covering note explaining why you’re interested in the role
• A CV and a short summary of relevant experience
• Your availability across the season (11 April–18 October)

Closing date for applications: Anticipated 25 January 2025, with interviews carried out shortly after this date

Start date: 9 April for training, and starting 11 April
