On occasions Front of House Assistants may also be required for reception duties and outreach activities.

They should have customer service, hospitality and event management experience, a good level of literacy, numeracy and IT skills and enjoy working with the public.

The post requires a high degree of flexibility to cover sessions at short notice including evenings and weekends with the potential for some lone working. In turn, it is an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking for a varied and interesting role but does not want to commit to a regular pattern of working hours.  Front of House Officers can choose to accept or decline shifts on offer with no minimum number of hours expected per week (although there is a maximum of 48 hours per week).
