The role is open to wizards, witches and muggles but no matter your magic abilities you will need a DBS check and be cleared to work with young muggles.

Laura Strangeway, Head of Marketing at North Yorkshire Moors Railway, says: “This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate individual to join our hard working team.

We provide a fantastic day out for children that they will never forget so whoever is lucky enough to land this role must be creative, ambitious, and of course, a huge Harry Potter fan!”

The role is unpaid so you will have to conjure up funds from somewhere else to keep your Gringotts Vault afloat.
