SUMMER 2023
Jake Cox
DESTINATION ASSISTANT,
STOKE BRUERNE
" What I love the most about
my job is the visitors. Whether
they are regular customers or
people travelling from miles
away to see the museum for the
first time, everyone is so lovely
and has an interesting story
to tell. I also love that we are
encouraged to be creative and
to bring our unique skills to the
table. As someone who likes to
draw, I never imagined I would
be creating illustrations for the
museum as part of my role, but
I was given that chance within
a matter of months! It really
feels like you are valued for
your interests and are given the
opportunity to build on them.
Working by the water is also
fantastic for my wellbeing. "

" What could be more satisfying
and career-enriching than
welcoming old and new
visitors and inspiring future
generations at our unique sites
and attractions? From working
behind the scenes shaping
and creating stories for new
exhibitions, shows, events and
hands-on activities, to engaging
with a wide range of people in
our shops, cafés and museums,
a job in heritage is never dull!
No day is ever the same, which
is what makes it fun, busy and
exciting. Working alongside
volunteers who love what
we do makes working in this
industry special. We look for
those dynamic individuals who
truly enjoy working with people
and bringing amazing and
memorable visitor experiences
to life. "

alone time. Where you can hire venues
for organised events - the big moments
in life, like weddings, christening
celebrations or other special days in the
lives of family and colleagues.
Imagine a role where you play an
important part in making sure people
have a wonderful, memorable time, and
want to come back again or tell others
about us. You're the helpful welcoming
face and voice of the Canal & River Trust
on arrival - you might take their order
in the café and serve them some great
food, or maybe you are working in the
ticket office or shop, or as crew on the
boat or boat lift. There are so many
opportunities to choose from.
You might be looking for permanent
work, or just gaining experience of
working with customers early in your
career. Perhaps it's our heritage and
culture, or the important environmental
impact we make that attract you to
work full time or in the busy seasonal
peaks every year - either way, a career
in hospitality can be challenging and
very rewarding.
