    • Assist with other roles and tasks when not conducting tours, contributing to the smooth operation of Open Days.
  6. Setup and Close Down:

    • Arrive on time for Open Days to help with setting up and closing down activities.

Qualifications:

  • Punctual, reliable, and able to follow scheduled timings closely.
  • Commitment to providing a respectful and inclusive experience for all visitors.

Training: Tour Guides will receive an induction, including a review of emergency procedures and the Tour Guide Guidance Notes. Ongoing training sessions and resources will be provided to support knowledge building.

Benefits:
