Museum Steward

Our museum stewards are the public face of the museum and ensure that our visitors have a good experience during their visit. You'll always work in a team of two and will be responsible for opening and setting up the museum at the start of the day and closing at the end. You will greet and welcome our visitors as they arrive, answer any questions they may have or take a note of any enquiries to pass on to the appropriate staff member. You will be able to direct visitors to any displays or galleries that they are particularly interested in. If an emergency arises you will be able to raise the alarm and take any necessary action.  

Our opening days are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and are divided into two shifts of 2.5 hours; the morning session is from 11.00 to 13.30 and the afternoon from 13.30 to 16.00. We are also open on Sunday afternoons from 14.00 - 16.00. We ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of 2 shifts per month.

This role suits someone who enjoys engaging with people, has a friendly manner and a keen interest in local history.
