SWANAGE SEAFRONT ADVISOR

£19,264 pro rata/ £9.99 per hour

Up to 35 hrs per week (21 hrs during October) – Immediate to 31^st October 2022

We have one seasonal vacancy for an outgoing individual who has a calm manner and enjoys engaging with people.

As the ‘public face’ of the Town Council on the seafront, around the Town, at the Market and the Boat Park, you will help us provide the best possible service we can to our customers. You will promote the safe use of the seafront area and provide advice and guidance so that an enjoyable time can be had by everyone.  

You will be the friendly face of the town and act as a mobile information service utilising our award-winning customer service approach. The role will also include collecting fees from the Boat Park and patrolling the beach as well as undertaking seafront cleaning and basic maintenance tasks.

A polite manner with experience in a customer facing role would be an advantage but really, we want people who have a passion for Swanage and can rise to meet the many challenges that make this an interesting and important role.

Please note this is based on a variable hour’s contract and on days when the weather is poor you may not be required. The role will be required to work weekends and bank holidays.

We are a highly successful team working on what we feel is the most amazing town and beach in the UK. While we provide our award-winning customer service, we also have lots of fun along the way.

If you want to join us for 2022 please contact us (details below) to see the Job Description, and Person Specification and to receive an application form.
