Job Description
Rievaulx Abbey welcomes around 55,000 visitors a year, who come to explore the Abbey ruins and find out more about its intriguing stories, or simply to enjoy the green space and fabulous views with a shop and tearoom on site as well.
If you have a passion and genuine enthusiasm for engaging with people, providing an outstanding welcome to our beautiful properties and at the same time relish the opportunity to turn this engagement into membership, this could be the role for you.
As a Senior Membership Recruiter, you will join an amazing team of employees and volunteers, making sure all our visitors have a great time from the moment they arrive until they say goodbye. You will be visitor focused as part of the welcome team at site, providing excellent customer service, where your passion and enthusiasm will engage and inspire our visitors to become members of English Heritage, helping them to see more and do more at our properties whilst helping us to secure the long term future of the Charity.
Being a senior membership recruiter is a very rewarding and fulfilling role. Every day is different - part of my role is to meet visitors in an amazing environment and sell membership- which I love - it is great to meet a variety of people and have a positive impact on their day, and sign them up! I get to train the team and nurture and develop their skill set in order to sell membership - which is really satisfying - We have KPI's and budgets to meet, but being in control of that process means I can be creative and imaginative - it is great to be able to incorporate your own ideas in order to enhance membership and to hit targets - Lisa, Senior Membership Recruiter.
We would be delighted to hear from you, if you would like to talk to us about this role before you apply, please contact Tuukka Laakso, Property Manager, on [email protected]
