Based at the historic Fort Cumberland, you'll help bring the Portsmouth Distillery story to life while being part of a friendly, passionate team.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same, from leading distillery tours to helping run events and supporting behind-the-scenes activity.

What you'll enjoy:


  • Working in a stunning historic coastal fort
  • A sociable, people-focused role with plenty of variety
  • Being part of a fun, supportive team
  • Training and development (no distillery experience needed)

Day to day, you'll:


  • Deliver engaging and informative distillery tours
  • Help set up, run, and pack down events
  • Welcome visitors and provide excellent customer service
  • Support stock control and general site organisation
  • Help promote events through on-site activity and social media
  • Assist with basic advertising and marketing for tours and events
  • Keep the distillery clean, safe, and welcoming

What we're looking for


  • Friendly, confident, and happy speaking to groups
  • Well organised with good attention to detail
  • Comfortable working independently and as part of a small team
  • Reliable and flexible, especially for evenings and weekends
  • An interest in spirits, hospitality, tourism, or events (training provided)
  • Social media or event promotion experience is a bonus, but not essential

Working hours


  • 20 hours per week, with additional hours available during busy periods
  • Shifts will mainly include Saturdays and Sundays
