National Museums NI is a leading cultural institution and is responsible for ensuring that its significant collection is developed, cared for and accessible to the widest possible audience. Almost one million people enjoy our four museums each year, and through loans, research, community activity and digital programmes we engage a much wider audience than those who physically visit our museums.
We believe that our museums can play an important and valuable role at the heart of society. Through our work we preserve, protect and promote the region’s cultural assets, knowledge and collective memory. We provide shared and trusted spaces to explore who we are and where we have come from. We engage and work in partnership with the public to share stories and care for and present a vast range of objects bringing important cultural, educational, social and scientific ideas to life. We unite the past, present and future; enhance health and well-being; make places more attractive to live in, work and visit; and, create positive economic impact. We inspire present and future generations of pioneers, designers, makers and community leaders. Our museums are loved and trusted public institutions: they provide joy, prompt reflection, and foster curiosity about the world around us.
We are looking for four Front of House Assistants to play a key role in the delivery of a positive and customer focused experience to welcome to all visitors to our museum sites. Working across the welcome area, admissions desk and retail areas, the role represents the first and last point of contact for visitors and is important in supporting our mission of ‘Here for Good.’
Across all the key touchpoints, Front of House Assistants are responsible for optimising organisational sustainability and enhanced visitor engagement through active promotion of National Museums NI membership, map sales, retail sales and donations. Front of House Assistants have a passion and enthusiasm for sales and visitor experience, with a clear understanding of the importance of the front of house areas and how they fit within the visitor journey.

Our Craft Demonstrators play a key role in the delivery of a positive experience to visitors at the Ulster Folk Museum, promoting the traditions of carpentry through public demonstrations, group workshops, specialised individual training, and/or apprenticeships. They will master the history and techniques of carpentry through personal continuous development in order to reproduce, use and sell appropriate traditional products, seeking to champion and promote the development of heritage carpentry with the purpose of ensuring its sustainability in future years.
