The Ceredigion tourism service is looking to appoint an enthusiastic, organiSed and welcoming individual to join the busy Aberystwyth Tourist Information Centre and Ceredigion Museum Shop team as Tourist Information Assistant.

A Tourist Information Assistant provides assistance and information to visitors and local residents about the town, area and beyond, and provides retail assistance for the Ceredigion Museum Shop which is located in the premises in Aberystwyth town centre.

The Tourist Information Centre is open to the public from 10:00 – 17:00, Monday to Saturday. Work hours are part time (full days), including Saturdays, on a rota. The ability to converse in a foreign language is desirable.
