Careers

Working with the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority (PAHSMA) offers exciting career and employment opportunities. We advertise fixed-term and casual positions ranging from tourism operations and guiding at our three World Heritage-listed sites – Port Arthur, Coal Mines and the Cascades Female Factory – to jobs in hospitality, visitor services, conservation, administration, retail, and maintenance in preparation for our peak summer season December – April.

We value every member of our team and warmly welcome new staff. We offer a friendly, stimulating and enjoyable working environment, and we invest in our people with high-quality training and support. All current available positions are advertised through the Tasmanian Government Careers website, Seek website and LinkedIn.

Volunteers

PAHSMA has a history of inviting volunteers to assist on a range of projects and activities.  From project support to the transcribing of convict records and other colonial documents, there may be opportunities to work at one of our three sites, or even from home.

There can be tasks that do not require any specific skills or experience, but if any skills are required, they will be specified in the task description.  If there are projects or activities that reflect your skills and interests, we welcome your contribution.
