Job Description

As the public face of Coventry Charterhouse, you’ll provide a warm, friendly welcome, give information about the property, answer questions and make sure everyone has an enjoyable and memorable visit.

Salary: £12.75 / hour or £9,945 per year - we’re currently undertaking our pay review process and it is likely that this salary will be increased from 1st April 2026.

Contract/duration: Permanent

Hours/working pattern: This role is based on annualised hours, where the amount of hours you work each month may vary, however your salary will be paid in 12 equal instalments over the year. You'll work 780 hours per year, and on average, you'll work 15 hours per week but again, this will be flexible depending on operational demand. When we're busy, for example, school holidays, bank holiday and weekends, you'll need to work more hours. When we have less visitors, you'll work less hours. There will be regular weekend working.

For this role, you’ll need to complete our online assessment instead of using a C.V. or online application form. This will help us understand more about your strengths and give you more information on the role.

Reporting to the Welcome & Service Assistant Manager, you’ll be part of a team of four working at Coventry Charterhouse.

Day to day, you’ll deliver a great all-round customer service experience. You’ll be on hand answering queries and listen to what our visitors need so you can share the right information. Your role is to make sure our visitors have the best day they can. You’ll have the chance to be involved in different aspects of the visitor experience, from key property events to social media promotion - no two days are the same. Great visitor experiences are in our nature, and we believe everyone should feel welcomed, appreciated and more engaged because of the excellent service you provide. This role would suit anyone with enthusiasm for delivering great customer service.

We'd love to hear from you if you're:

  • customer focused with an understanding of the importance of great service
  • a team player, but also can work on your own initiative
  • well organised and adaptable
  • willing to learn new skills
  • have a positive attitude
