Visitors Services Assistant
Permanent, part-time
6-35 hours/week
Salary: £13.45/hour
(pro rata f/t £24,480 – Grade 1, Spine Point 5)
Abbotsford was designed and built by Sir Walter Scott as both his home and the location for his extensive collection of books and historical memorabilia, and was first opened to the public in 1833, five months after his death. After the death of his last descendant in residence, Dame Jean Maxwell-Scott in 2004, The Abbotsford Trust was created to preserve, protect and promote not only the house, but also the life and works of Sir Walter. Abbotsford is considered to be one of the most important heritage sites in Scotland. Having now completed an £11.68 million restoration, the Trust is in the next phase of its journey to increase revenue and trading performance whilst retaining its status as a 5-star visitor attraction.
The Visitor Services team is responsible for services in relation to the visitor experience, including admissions, retail and event sales, car park and Witch Corner. They are the public face of Abbotsford and work directly with a wide range of visitors, providing welcome and support.
