Job Description: Halland County Museums Foundation, located at Halland's Cultural Historical Museum in Varberg Fortress, is seeking part-time Guides

The Halland County Museums Foundation operates the museum activities at Halland Art Museum and Halland's Cultural Historical Museum. We are Halland's largest regional cultural institution with around seventy employees.

Halland's Cultural Historical Museum was founded in 1916 and is a county museum with extensive cultural historical collections, both objects and archival documents.

Job Duties: We are looking for guides with good knowledge of Swedish, German, and English for the summer season's tours at the fortress and museum. As a guide with us, you will conduct tours of Varberg Fortress where you will tell the story of the site's long history. Inside the museum, you will work as a host to direct visitors, answer questions, and explain the museum's offerings and exhibitions. Light cleaning and opening and closing of buildings will also be part of your duties.

Qualifications: Do you have a passionate interest in history and the ability to convey it in an engaging and captivating manner? Do you have a strong sense of hospitality and service?

We are looking for someone who is social and service-oriented, responsible, and independent. The job requires a certain level of physical fitness as the pace is high and you will move in and out of the fortress's various environments. The fortress tours are largely outdoors in all types of weather.

A university education with a relevant focus is an advantage. Tours are primarily conducted in Swedish and English, but you should also be able to conduct tours in German.

Duration, working hours: Summer season, i.e., weeks 25 - 33. The schedule extends over all days of the week.
