Visitor Experience Volunteer (welcomer)

Our visitor experience volunteers will be the first people visitors will meet when they enter the Minster. It will be your role to provide a warm and informative welcome, helping visitors find their way around the space and get the most out of their visit. You will need to be perceptive and understanding of the visitors needs.

As the Minster relies heavily on donations to maintain the building and the church you will need to be comfortable with directing people to donate.

As a visitor experience volunteer you will also need to keep the Minster clean and tidy for visitors.

Visitor experience volunteers may also be required to volunteer at events advertising and promoting the Minster e.g. volunteer fairs, local events and festivals.
