Volunteering
Our volunteers are vital to our work and mission
Watch the video to see what some of our volunteers have to say.
Our volunteers are involved across the Museum; in the galleries with the Learning Volunteer Team and behind-the-scenes in the Behind the Seen volunteers team.
All our volunteer opportunities are advertised online and you can apply for any suitable vacancies using our online recruitment website.

Volunteering and internships are for adults aged 18 or over. Our volunteer opportunities are usually based on 1 day per week for a minimum of 4 months
Volunteering is designed to be mutually beneficial to both the volunteer and the Museum. We aim to provide rewarding and enriching experiences for those taking part.
Relevant training opportunities are outlined in each volunteer project or opportunity and all necessary role-related training will be provided at the Museum.
We recognise the significant contribution made by Museum volunteers and interns and we have an enrichment programme that involves training and social events too.
