Historic Royal Palaces is a charity that looks after six iconic sites in the UK; Hampton Court, the Tower of London, Kensington Palace, the Banqueting House, Kew Palace and Hillsborough Castle.

You will be working in a team across the site in a varied role, ranging from our beautiful historic rooms to checking tickets at our entrances, ensuring everyone receives exceptional service.
