Your Responsibilities

You are part of our team that works together to make the visit to Glimmingehus a joyful and enriching experience.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Conducting tours of the castle, dramatizations, and educational programs on-site for the public, school groups, and booked groups.
• Working in our shop and entrance with sales, customer reception, information, cash handling, daily closing, restocking goods, and similar tasks.

It may also occur that you will conduct live broadcasts to schools and the public using our 3D model of the castle. We see it as essential that you are open to working digitally, working with children, and taking on roles. You will also receive international guests with tours in English and possibly in German or another language. Through public activities related to medieval crafts and tasks, you contribute to bringing the castle and courtyard to life. Some positions may include specific responsibilities such as guiding in a certain language, following up on operations, or certain events. Some cleaning and maintenance of the site are also included in the job duties.

Your Qualifications

• You should be able to conduct tours in easily understandable Swedish and guide in English.
• You are outgoing, ready to take initiative, and have good teamwork skills.

Personal suitability for the position is of crucial importance.

Experience with cash handling and working in a shop, preferably of a similar nature, is a merit. Experience in the tourism industry and good knowledge of southeastern Skåne is desirable.

Other language skills are desirable, primarily German and Danish.

Previous experience in educational work as well as program and tour operations is a merit. Since children are a large and prioritized target group for Glimmingehus, experience working with children is a merit. Experience in historical dramatization is desirable.

Knowledge of various crafts and activities that can be performed to bring the medieval period to life is a merit and may compensate for a lower degree of desired formal education.

Access to accommodation near Glimmingehus or a driver's license and car is essential as public transportation is lacking. It is mandatory to state in your application how you plan to commute to work.
