About

Bristol Cathedral is looking to recruit a part-time Administration Assistant to provide vital support to our Operations team. This varied and rewarding role will help ensure the Cathedral can fulfil its mission as a place of worship, welcome and community engagement in the heart of Bristol.

Working closely with the People Coordinator, Finance Assistant and Finance Director, you will provide administrative support across a range of areas including HR, finance, databases, compliance and general office administration. You will also play an important role as a first point of contact for staff, volunteers and visitors.

Instead, we’re seeking someone who is highly organised, comfortable using IT systems, able to manage multiple priorities, and keen to learn new skills. If you enjoy variety, take pride in accuracy, and like helping others, we’d love to hear from you.

Visitor Experience Assistant

Hours: Part-time (15 hours per week); includes regular weekend working
Pay: Real living wage (currently £13.45 per hour)
Location: Based onsite at Bristol Cathedral; some work may take place at the Lord Mayor’s Chapel

About

Located in the heart of Bristol, the Cathedral welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Whether someone is attending worship, exploring our history, enjoying a tour, supporting an event or simply seeking a moment of reflection, our Visitor Experience Team helps ensure they receive a warm and memorable welcome.

As a Visitor Experience Assistant, you will be at the heart of that welcome. You will greet visitors, answer questions, encourage donations and Gift Aid, support volunteers, promote tours and retail sales, and help maintain high standards across our visitor spaces. You will also support events and activities taking place at both Bristol Cathedral and the Lord Mayor’s Chapel.

We’re looking for people who genuinely enjoy working with others and take pride in delivering excellent customer service. Strong communication skills, a friendly and proactive approach, and the confidence to engage with a diverse range of visitors are more important than previous Cathedral or heritage experience.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Providing a warm, informed and inclusive welcome to visitors
  • Encouraging donations and Gift Aid to support the Cathedral’s work
  • Selling tour tickets and retail items through the Cathedral shop
  • Supporting events and activities across Cathedral sites
  • Acting as a key point of contact for volunteer Welcomers and Guides
  • Helping maintain safe, clean and welcoming visitor areas
  • Responding to visitor enquiries and providing information about the Cathedral
