Volunteer: Weymouth Museum Pop-Up

Company Description

Weymouth Museum is creating a new museum which will share the town's rich history with residents and visitors. While we wait for our new museum to be ready, we have opened a pop-up museum in Weymouth town centre, which provides a taster of some of our collections. As a registered charity, Weymouth Museum is seeking volunteers to help staff the Pop-Up Museum, greeting visitors, sharing Weymouth's stories, supporting events, and caring for the collections.

Role Description

This is a voluntary role with hours to suit you. We are looking for people who can spare at least a couple of hours a week. The pop-up museum is open from 10am to 2pm from Monday to Saturday, and is located in St Thomas Street in Weymouth. Volunteers will assist with day-to-day tasks such as setting up exhibits, assisting museum visitors, providing information about exhibits, supporting Weymouth Museum events, and coordinating with other staff or volunteers to ensure the smooth operation of the pop-up museum.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively interact with visitors and team members
• Organisational skills to manage exhibits and keep the pop-up running smoothly
• Attention to detail is required to maintain the presentation of the exhibit areas
