Admissions Supervisor

Tim Higgins

Hampton Court Palace


My day...
My principle duty is to ensure the smooth running of the Ticket Office and Welcome Centre, both front and back of house. For the most part, what the customers want is a swift and efficient service to smooth them on their way to a great day out, and that’s what we aim to provide. We also aim to answer any questions that they may have, and if we can’t help, find the person who can.

You need to be:  Able to work well with people. It’s essential that you are a good listener, patient, approachable, calm under pressure, quick thinking, resourceful and adept at conflict resolution.

Highlights:  The customers.  Most of our visitors are excited by the prospect of a fun day out, and are naturally upbeat in their temperament. Many of them can be an absolute delight from beginning to end.

Lowlights:  The customers again! Human nature being what it is we do encounter people who have committed themselves to a miserable day out, despite our best efforts to turn it around.  That’s when some of those essential qualities kick in- restraint, composure and forbearance.
