Purpose

This role is responsible for overseeing the daily operations of Lakeland Arts venues as a key member of the Visitor Experience team. Responsibilities include ensuring the safe and successful running of our unique cultural venues and leading visitor experience teams to maintain high standards throughout – from a warm welcome to a fond farewell, and everything in between.

Acting independently as the on-site Duty Manager, the role oversees all front-of-house operations and is integral to maintaining a safe and well-presented working environment. This includes upholding the highest standards of customer service and presentation, as well as supporting teams with health, safety, security, and maintenance-related matters. This role will be based at Windermere Jetty Museum as a home site but will eventually be trained to cover other venues for rota flexibility and emergency cover.
