Salary: £10 Per Tour + Tips and Commission for Touts
Become a Norwich Tour Guide!
NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
As a Chauffeur you would be expected to conduct tours on the River. The tour is an hour long and you would Punt the customers along the river in one of our boats and give them the history of the city and naturally tell them some terrible tour guide jokes as well. Working hours are from 10:30 to 17:00. Chauffeurs also have to take customers out on pre-booked evening Haunted River Tours and Romantic Tours. Pay is £10 per tour plus tips. Tips are not split and down the the individual.
A Tout works the same hours with the exception that they would not be taking any tours and do no night time tours. Touts conduct direct sales on the street to the general public on the street. They promote and sell all types of tour. Touts are paid 30% sales commission of what they individually sell.
All members of staff are given a guaranteed wage as a safety net for slow days. Full staff training is also provided.
We operate a strict uniform policy at all of our Punting Companies (Canterbury Punting Co & Cambridge Punting Co) and uniform consists of a waistcoat / company jumper / company jacket and straw boater hat which are supplied by ourselves. The individual has to supply their own boat shoes, chinos and shirts.
Please email me your CV and which job you would prefer to apply for. This preference will be taken into consideration by ourselves but following a successful interview you will be offered the position that we feel you will be best suited for. We are based in Norwich city centre and from my experience this is a very enjoyable job and in Canterbury and Cambridge we regularly see the majority of our staff return year after year.
On your CV we require two references and details of all previous employment and work experience.
