    Brief

    This procurement seeks temporary staffing solutions to support traffic management and visitor admissions at Westonbirt Arboretum during peak periods. Car park staff will manage vehicle flow, direct traffic safely and efficiently, and prevent congestion that could impact the nearby A46 main road. Admissions support staff will process visitors quickly across multiple entry points, including the main admissions window and external pods, to minimise queues and enhance visitor experience. The successful supplier should provide flexible, reliable staff capable of working in outdoor and customer-facing environments, with strong communication and safety awareness skills. Services are required on a temporary, as-needed basis to support seasonal and weekend peak visitor periods.
