Heritage is for everybody, and we are here for heritage.
Heritage lives in places and people, memories and stories, artefacts and traditions. It can connect us all to the past, and to each other. It can make us happier, strengthen every community, and help shape society for the better. Everybody should be able to enjoy the benefits it brings.
That's why, as a charity, we care for over a million objects and hundreds of historic sites in every part of England, from international icons to local treasures. And it's why we open them up, share their stories and find new ways for everybody to enjoy, learn, play and create.
We are looking for a Food and Beverage Supervisor to join our team at Belsay Hall. The role is part time and for a fixed term until the end of March 2026.
This is a part-time role working a minimum of 30 hours per week from March to October, and then switching to a 14 hours per week contract from November to February.
As a Food and Beverage supervisor you will work closely with the manager to support with the wider team of F&B assistants, including supporting training and recruiting new staff. You will support the day-to-day delivery of targets and management of expenditure, as well as supporting compliance with health and safety legislation.
This role also includes working with the F&B assistants to prepare food and drinks from the best of regional and local produce at Belsay Hall and ensuring high levels of visitor experience.

About you
For this role we are looking for someone who has experience of working in a customer facing role in a visitor attraction, preferably in a food and beverage environment.
Ideally, you will also have experience in
- supervising a team to deliver consistently high standards.
- generating profit by meeting revenue targets and controlling costs.
- working to HACCP, Food Safety, allergen and labelling legislation.
Experience of working in a food and beverage role and an awareness of food safety and allergens would help but it isn't essential as full training will be provided. For us, it's more important that you have bags of enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved.
