Are you friendly and outgoing? Do you enjoy talking to people and sharing your passion for history? Would you love being part of the team of Birmingham’s most unusual heritage attraction? Then get involved and join us at the Coffin Works!
We are recruiting Room Enablers, central to the delivery of our excellent visitor experience and the running of the visitor attraction.
Room Enablers have a vital role to play in bringing the Coffin Works Museum to life, inspiring visitors and helping them learn more about the history of our factory in an interesting and enjoyable way. You will be responsible for welcoming visitors into each room of the museum, sharing the stories and history of the building, directing them around, answering any questions and generally being a friendly point of contact.
There are opportunities to build up into Tour Guiding and help with Front of House and collection conservation as well.
The Coffin Works museum is a grade II* listed building, which made coffin furniture for over 100 years. We offer visitors the extraordinary opportunity to ‘step back in time’ and experience the factory as a ‘time-capsule’, set in the company's heyday of the 1960s. Full of original stock and machinery, from brass handles to silk shrouds, there is many a tale to tell!

Please contact us to discuss any access requirements. We encourage anyone and everyone to join our friendly team.
We encourage people to bring their own knowledge and skills into their interpretation of the museum. We love to hear your ideas on things we can do, like events, and we’d love to add any knowledge you might have of the era or the profession into our story.
You will gain excellent experience in communicating, interacting and engaging with the public, as well as learning and delivering the history of the museum. This is a great way to boost your confidence and bolster your CV with vital people skills.
