Become a Museum Volunteer!
The Museum depends not only on its paid
staff, but on a large group of enthusiastic volunteers to deliver
its services. We are often looking for new volunteers to come and
join our team for particular projects. We can offer
training and experience in museum work in return for your
assistance.
We also offer places to a limited number of work experience students throughout the year.
We have volunteers in a number of key areas:
Collections: helping to document, store and interpret the Museum's collections
Geology: helping to conserve and reconstruct local fossil finds
Archaeology: helping to record finds onto the local Sites & Monuments Record (note: basic archaeological knowledge/experience is required for this role).
Education: helping to prepare and administrate schools sessions, helping with session delivery (note: a full CRB check may be required for this role) and much more - visit our education section for more details.
Visitor Services: Meeting and greeting members of the public; working in the Museum shop; helping set up/take down exhibitions; helping to plan and run events; helping with marketing the Museum.
If you are interested in volunteering and would like more information and an application form, please contact us on (01733) 343329 or e-mail museum@peterborough.gov.uk to find out about current opportunities.
