We are looking for a Museum Guide to join our team and enhance the visitor experience by providing engaging, informative, and educational tours of our museum exhibits. As a Museum Guide, you will be responsible for welcoming guests, sharing in-depth knowledge about the museum's collections, and ensuring that each visitor leaves with a greater appreciation for the arts, history, or science on display.
The ideal candidate will have a passion for education and storytelling, excellent communication skills, and a friendly, approachable demeanor. You should be comfortable speaking to groups of all sizes and ages, and be able to adapt your presentation style to suit different audiences. A strong interest in the subject matter of the museum—whether it be art, history, science, or culture—is essential.
In this role, you will also be expected to stay up-to-date with current and upcoming exhibitions, attend training sessions, and collaborate with other museum staff to ensure a seamless and enriching experience for all visitors. You may also assist in the development of educational materials, support special events, and contribute to outreach programs.
This position requires a flexible schedule, including weekends and holidays, and may involve standing or walking for extended periods. Prior experience in a museum, educational, or customer service setting is preferred but not required. We value enthusiasm, reliability, and a genuine desire to share knowledge with others.
