Volunteer with Aerospace Bristol

Visitor Experience Volunteers

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.

Why volunteer at Aerospace Bristol?

As a charitable organisation, the museum relies on the support and dedication of our volunteers. Without them, we simply wouldn’t have a museum!

Aerospace Bristol offers a unique opportunity for volunteers to make a lasting contribution in a variety of fun and interesting roles. By joining us, you can become an important part of our friendly, enthusiastic and motivated team, learn new skills and meet new people. 

If you have an interest in engineering, history, would like to develop your skills, or would like to get involved with your local community and support your local museum, we would love to hear from you.

As a volunteer you can:

  • Work directly with unique, rare collections, making our objects, archive and knowledge accessible to a wider audience

  • Work with our Visitor Experience team to engage, encourage and inspire visitors, helping us create an unforgettable experience

  • Gain valuable hands-on experience and skills throughout a variety of roles

  • Develop pathways to employment

  • Help us build strong community relationships

  • Be a part of a friendly, enthusiastic and motivated team and help us build a lasting legacy for our community

We are extremely grateful to our volunteers, whose time and effort have brought so much to the museum. The Volunteer Programme is open to anyone aged 16 and over – If you are enthusiastic and motivated, whatever your background or experience, our Volunteer Programme might just be for you.
