For this reason, the role is on a fixed term contract of six months, starting in March 2020 and finishing in October.

You may also be requested to work longer hours as well as mornings and evenings to accommodate evening tours and other events.
The job description notes the role is also "physically demanding" due to standing up for long periods and walking from site to site.
