Job description

The Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b Baker Street London, is seeking an Events Organiser - a convivial "Mrs Hudson" or "Victorian Maid" who is able to receive visitors to the Museum. A costume consisting of a long green or black dress is provided in keeping with the Victorian period.

Applicants should have an interest in the late Victorian period, be out-going and friendly,  and must have well-spoken English. You will be required to meet and greet people at the house (mainly overseas tourists) and to be in attendance to answer any queries. We also have a large heritage gift shop on the ground floor where you will be needed to assist with the selling of memorabilia to the Museum visitors.

If you have creative ideas so much the better! You may be able to arrange the publication of heritage material and to organise the busy cultural activities of a popular tourist attraction.

There are many groups visiting the Museum consisting of 30 or more young people, so you will need to be able to organise these groups and if necessary plan events for them.

It's a fun and versatile job requiring charisma and sometimes diplomacy! You will need to have a mature outlook, and aged between  21 yrs - 50 yrs.

There is the option to work part-time or full-time. The starting pay  is £8.00 gross per hour and the museum is open from 9.30am - 6pm every day.

Please ensure that you upload a photo to your StudentJob profile. We regret that body piercings are not permitted as they would not be in period. Please state your height, when you can start work, and the days of the week you can work (we are open every day except Christmas day!)
