A number of roles are on offer across the museum’s time periods, from the 1820s to the 1950s, with roles including food and beverage team members and engagers in the museum’s towns and rural life exhibits. The museum is also searching for enthusiastic team-members to work in the Drovers Tavern which serves 1800s-inspired meals in an authentic setting.
Beamish is also holding a recruitment fair on Tuesday, February 4 from 2pm to 7pm, where people can find out more about the vacancies. Debbie Harrington, People and Culture Manager at Beamish Museum, said: “Working for a charity like Beamish Museum really is a job like no other, and these roles are so important in making a real difference for our visitor experience. We’re looking for enthusiastic people to help us deliver exceptional customer service and to help keep Beamish the successful world-renowned museum it has become.”

In the museum’s 1950s town employees could play an important role in bringing history to life for visitors, from welcoming them to the Grand Cinema to assisting with lively events like tea dances and the annual pantomime.
The rural life team has roles on offer where visitors are shown what life was like on the Home Front during the Second World War at The 1940s farm. Beamish is also looking for enthusiastic individuals to join the entrance team.
