As part of the fun and creative team, you'll always have new projects on the go. Penrhyn's history is staged upon slavery, slate, splendour and strikes and we're currently working on transforming how we tell this special place's story to move, teach and inspire our visitors. Penrhyn's key attractions include its State Rooms and the ‘hidden' and ‘untouched' rooms in the Keep. The stunning 60-acre grounds include a Victorian walled garden and boast views across Snowdonia.

Sut beth yw gweithio yma
Mae Penrhyn yn dy Fictoraidd wedi'i guddio fel castell neo-Sioraidd anferth, gyda rhaglen amrywiol o ddigwyddiadau sy'n dod â'r eiddo unigryw hwn yn fyw. Fel rhan o dîm hwyliog a chreadigol, bydd gennych brosiectau newydd ar waith bob amser. Mae hanes Penrhyn wedi'i seilio ar gaethwasiaeth, llechi, ysblander a streiciau ac ar hyn o bryd rydym yn gweithio ar drawsnewid sut ydym yn adrodd hanes y lle arbennig hwn i gyffroi, addysgu ac ysbrydoli ein hymwelwyr. Mae atyniadau allweddol Penrhyn yn cynnwys ei Ystafelloedd Swyddogol a'r ystafelloedd 'cudd' a 'heb eu cyffwrdd' yn y Gorthwr. Mae'r gerddi 60 acer, trawiadol yn cynnwys gardd furiog Fictoraidd a golygfeydd godidog ar draws Eryri.
What you'll be doing
As a Collections Assistant, you'll be working with a great housekeeping team in an incredible place, helping with the day-to-day cleaning and care of the collections. No detail will go unnoticed, and you'll keep a keen eye on everything from the environmental conditions in a room, to signs of wear and tear. You'll keep accurate records too. A regular day during the open season will include cleaning and pre-paring the house for opening to visitors followed by collections care and in the winter, you will take part in annual deep cleaning of the property.
In this visitor facing role, we'd love you to talk to visitors about the work you're doing, and the collections we have. You'll also be part of the wider team of employees and volunteers, helping to cover where necessary.
Working hours will be 8am till 12pm, which will require some flexibility during the main season. Days of working can be discussed at the interview should you be successful; weekend working will be a requirement during our open period.
