Communications volunteer volunteer jobs

Bristol Cathedral is recruiting two part-time Visitor Experience Assistants to help deliver an outstanding experience for everyone who visits the Cathedral.

Located in the heart of Bristol, the Cathedral welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
