Waterside Champion (Café Volunteer - National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port)

As a Waterside Champion we need your support to be there for our customers. The millions of visitors to our waterways, museums and attractions are intrigued by our wonderful 200 year old network. Champions such as our Café Volunteers are there to facilitate a great experience for all.

You will be part of the team keeping our nation's heritage alive by helping in our bustling, vibrant café offering seasonal fayre and visited by regular customers as well as people from all over the UK and overseas. You'll play a key role supporting our team as a friendly and enthusiastic front of house presence, or behind the scenes in a professional kitchen setting. You can turn your talents to helping our food and beverage offer raise vital funds for the upkeep and care of the precious heritage around you, and have fun meeting and chatting with lots of new faces every day.

With its stunning location on the banks of the Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, extensive indoor displays and historic buildings, the Museum is a great place to volunteer, where time slows down and history comes to life. The National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port has a fantastic collection of boats, buildings, outdoor spaces and much more. You will join the friendly, dedicated and knowledgeable team of this prestigious visitor attraction, filled with historic grade 2 listed buildings and beautiful grounds. Your support as a Café Volunteer will welcome, delight and engage visitors in our story and help create lasting memories as part of an exceptional visitor experience.

Previous experience is not required, although if you have experience in customer service or hospitality, we would certainly love to hear from you. This is an ongoing role, typically volunteering between 10am to 4pm, although we aim to be as flexible as possible with the time that you can give. Our busy periods are holidays and the summer time.
