The Visitor Services Assistant plays a critical role in ensuring Ten Broeck Mansion tours go smoothly and providing a welcoming atmosphere for our visitors! Visitor Services Assistants duties include:
- Greeting visitors to the Ten Broeck Mansion and gardens.
- Checking in visitors for tours and helping visitors purchase tour tickets as needed. This position requires use of a credit card terminal (similar to using a touch-pad computer). Training will be provided by ACHA staff.
- Ensuring the safety and security of our visitors and collections by making sure visitors do not walk through the Mansion without a docent guide, and alerting ACHA staff of any safety and security issues as soon as possible.
- Helping the ACHA continue its programming by promoting and managing the Museum Shop.
- Helping to tidy up the Museum shop and select Mansion areas as needed.
There are also opportunities for training to deliver tours as a Museum Education Assistant (docent) for those who are interested.
