Summary:
The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum in Sanibel, FL is seeking outgoing and friendly people to join our team at the admissions desk and in the Museum Store. BMNSM is a nationally-accredited natural history museum and aquarium with a focus on shells, marine life, and conservation located on beautiful Sanibel Island. The Museum includes 11 saltwater aquariums exhibiting over 60 species of marine life including a Giant Pacific Octopus, the largest kind of octopus in the world; as well as 35 exhibits of shells; a changing exhibition gallery; and auditorium for public programs and films. The Museum welcomes between 50,000 and 60,000 visitors annually. 

Customer Service Associates greet visitors, sell admissions and event tickets, answer questions about programs and exhibits, and more. In the Museum Store, Associates ring up purchases, direct shoppers to products, and help maintain an attractive appearance for the Store. Both of these jobs are crucial to the operation of the Museum and funding its non-profit, educational mission.

There are currently multiple openings for part-time employment. Scheduling is flexible, and seasonal positions are also available if you are not a full-time resident. For those with an interest in working with the animals and aquariums, it is possible to cross-train Associates so they may work at the interactive touch pools and educate visitors about the marine life in the aquariums.
