Museum Attendants are responsible for safeguarding museum exhibitions and buildings and for keeping facilities clean and tidy. Working front of house, they ensure that museum visitors enjoy their visit by providing a high quality of customer service.

A high level of communication and customer care skills are essential as are experience of working in visitor services and with security systems.
