Visitor Experience Volunteers (Apply Now)

We are looking for fun, friendly and enthusiastic volunteers to join our Visitor Experience team. As a Visitor Experience Volunteer you will welcome visitors to the museum, actively engage with visitors to share your museum stories, be a point of contact for questions and guidance and encourage visitors to engage with interactive activities.

Visitor Experience Volunteers also have the opportunity to write and deliver ‘Spotlight’ talks, attend tour guide training and assist in delivering on gallery children’s activities.

Visitor Experience Volunteers play a key role in creating a welcoming and friendly museum experience, engaging with and inspiring our visitors by delivering first class customer service.

Whilst we welcome applications from all, we are currently prioritising applications from those with weekend availability. Applicants can indicate what days they are likely to be available as part of the application process.
