Service Assistants play an important role in supporting various property teams in greeting and helping our visitors. No two days are the same and you can expect to meet lots of different people and help in various visitor areas. You'll be involved in different tasks. These could include greeting visitors on arrival, restocking the shelves in the shop and fundraising for our charitable cause. Most importantly you'll talk to visitors, answering any questions they have to make sure they can find everything they need for their visit.
