Volunteering at Barnet Museum
We are a small local history museum and all of our staff are unpaid volunteers. We are occasionally in a position to take on new volunteers. We welcome people who:
- Can make a long term, regular commitment to the museum, even a few hours every week.
- People who know which area of support they could offer: volunteers do a whole range of jobs including welcoming visitors, manning our shop, cataloguing our collection, researching the history of Barnet, keeping our garden tidy, cleaning the museum, etc.
We welcome students to the Museum who have a high level of interest in local history. Please read the following to both ensure that you are able to commit to us and that we are able to provide a fulfilling experience to you.
- You must be over 16 to volunteer with us.
- We can only facilitate a limited number of students at one time. If you are applying to begin during the summer holiday, please email an application to us by June 1st.
- Due to our limited opening hours, we cannot facilitate short term placement which we consider to be less than 3 months.
- Ideally, you would be able to commit to a regular time each week e.g. Saturday afternoons. Please check our opening hours on the homepage to see what may suit.
