Museum Host - 45 Hours Per Fortnight

Details of the offer

Surrounded by locations of cultural, historical and environmental significance, the Te Awamutu Museum plays caretaker and advocate for some of Waipa District's richest heritage; sharing powerful and relevant stories that captivate, transform, and build connectedness with our people and our place.
The Role
We are looking for a confident and friendly person to join our small but awesome team of eight museum staff. As a Museum Host, you will be the face of the Museum for our visitors - welcoming them, providing information on exhibitions, activities and services on offer, and contributing to the running of events like exhibition openings and public programs. Full training will be provided, although a keen interest in cultural and social history would be advantageous, and some front of house or customer service experience would be helpful too.
The Te Awamutu Museum is currently operating as the Te Awamutu Museum Education and Research Centre at a temporary location on Rickit Road while earthquake strengthening and refurbishment works are being carried out at the Museum building on Roche Street. We plan to return to our permanent location in mid-2025.
Fortnightly Roster
The role is 45 hours per fortnight, as follows:
Week one (24 hours)
Monday 9:00am - 4:00pm*
Tuesday 9:00am - 4:00pm*
Saturday 9:45am - 2:15pm
Week two (21 hours)
Monday 9:00am - 4:30pm*
Tuesday 9:00am - 4:30pm*
*Including an unpaid 30-minute lunch break
The roster will also include alternate public holidays (9.45am - 2.15pm)
About You
To be our successful candidate, you'll need to be:
Warm and friendly, with strong customer service skills;
Reliable and able to work the rostered hours;
Comfortable using Maori words and place names;
Flexible around working additional hours for exhibition openings, public workshops and leave cover occasionally.
Waipa District Council offers a supportive work environment with generous leave entitlements and benefits, and genuine care for staff wellbeing. If you think this role could be the right opportunity for you, APPLY NOW - we'd love to hear from you!
Application Closing Date: Sunday 3rd November 2024 at 5:00pm.
