Tour Guide

• Take our visitors on a journey through the history of Finch Foundry, through guided tours we tell the stories of this special place and demonstrate what it was like to work in one of Dartmoor's mills.
• Explain processes of production and the engineering of the mill. Utilise resources to build understanding of metal working and blacksmithing processes.
• Find ways to build understanding of how the Finch family built one of the most successful tool mills in the South West.
• Providing a warm, welcoming and friendly approach to all of our visitors
• Supporting our visitors by providing them with information and guidance so they get the most from their time with us
• Welcoming visitors at several points throughout their visit, not just at the start, so they can ask questions whenever they need to
• Responding to situations to ensure we always provide a great experience for people – and often spotting issues before they happen!
• There will be plenty of opportunities to do the little things that make a big difference, such as remembering the name of a regular visitor
• Gathering comments and feedback by chatting to visitors so that we can continually improve
• Helping things run as smoothly and safely as possible – this includes getting to know health and safe

• We are looking primarily for volunteers on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, but if you are only able to do a few sessions a month we are also looking for people to help with holiday cover which would be less frequent.
