Full job description Could you be the face of Sizewell C in our local community?
Visitor Centre Guide | Leiston, Suffolk | 1 day per week
Salary - £30,238 pro-rated to 1 day per week
Bonus target – 5%
Closing date - 12th November 2026
This isn’t your typical job. And we’re not looking for your typical candidate.
We’re looking for someone warm, confident and genuinely passionate about Sizewell C and the community around us. Someone who loves meeting people, can make anyone feel welcome and enjoys telling a great story.
Based at our Sizewell Visitor Centre, Coronation Park, you’ll become one of the faces of the project, helping visitors understand what we’re building, why it matters and what it means for Suffolk and the generations to come.
And here’s what makes this opportunity a little different: it’s for just one day a week.
Because of the nature of our visits and events, that day may occasionally involve a split shift or some flexibility around hours, so we think this could be perfect for someone who lives locally and is looking for a really interesting part-time role where no two days are quite the same.
What might your day look like?
One minute you could be welcoming people into the Visitor Centre, the next you might be hosting a site tour, talking to a local school, getting involved in a STEM workshop or supporting a community event.
You could find yourself speaking with schoolchildren, local residents, community groups, stakeholders or visitors from much further afield. You’ll help bring the Sizewell C story to life, answer questions and make sure everyone who visits us leaves having had a brilliant experience.
The role also gets out and about. Our Visitor Centre Guides support school and college activities, careers fairs, STEM festivals and community events, as well as helping with themed events at the Visitor Centre.
We’re much more interested in you than a long list of qualifications
You don’t need to arrive knowing everything about nuclear energy or the Sizewell C project. You do need to be curious, enthusiastic and excited about learning, because you’ll build the knowledge to confidently talk about the project and represent it within our community.
We’re looking for someone who:
*Absolutely loves talking to people and can connect with all sorts of audiences
*Is warm, friendly and naturally welcoming
*Is confident speaking to groups and answering questions
*Is enthusiastic, positive and genuinely interested in Sizewell C
*Has great customer service instincts and knows how to make people feel looked after
*Is comfortable working independently as well as being part of a small, close-knit team
*Is happy to learn and develop a really good understanding of the project
*Can be flexible around working patterns when visits or events require it
*Has previous experience in a customer-facing role
If you’ve worked in hospitality, tourism, retail, education, visitor attractions, events or another public-facing environment, you could be a fantastic fit. Equally, your experience might come from somewhere completely different.
For us, personality really matters.
Why this role is special
Sizewell C is one of Britain’s major infrastructure projects, and our Visitor Centre gives people the opportunity to understand the project first-hand, from its role in Britain’s journey to net zero to its impact on employment, skills and the local community
As a Visitor Centre Guide, you’re not sitting behind the scenes.
You’re the welcome. You’re the conversation. You’re the person who can turn a visit into a memorable experience.
So, if you’re local to Leiston, you’re looking for something a little different for one day a week and you’d love the opportunity to represent a project that’s happening right here in Suffolk, we’d really like to hear from you.

Sizewell C’s business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure at Sizewell C in Suffolk. Overall, whilst the Company is in the construction phase, the Boards’ principal focus is on the development and construction of Sizewell C on time, on budget and to the highest quality and safety standards. The Company is maturing to meet all these requirements.
Sizewell C is economically regulated by OFGEM under the RAB model similar to other UK electricity distribution networks and Thames Tideway.
Sizewell C construction strategy is to replicate the design of Hinkley Point C, using the majority of the same supply chain, but innovating in the way it is delivered to achieve savings in time and cost of around 20%. The CCO will need to be guided by and incorporate lessons learned from the Hinkley Point C commercial delivery to achieve Sizewell C’s ambition.
Following Financial Completion and Revenue Commencement, Sizewell C is fully funded and is owned by; The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero representing HM Government, La Caisse, Centrica, EDF and Amber Infrastructure.
