Malvern Museum is looking for volunteers to fill and support a number of roles:
Stewards
Museum stewards open the museum to visitors, take admissions money and sales cash, and handle simple enquiries. Stewards work in pairs and we would hope you could cover perhaps one morning (10.30 – 1.30) or afternoon session (1.30 – 5.00) every two weeks. Training is given and volunteers feel very supported.
Management Roles
Volunteers also fill all management roles. This covers curating the collection and looking after the the building and its environment. Others have responsibility for stewards and health and safety. Museum publicity, the website, the environment and museum finance are important roles too. The building is owned by the Trustees of Malvern Museum Society, but the museum is run by a wider group of volunteers forming a Management Committee.
Publicity Officer
The museum has been without a publicity officer for some time now. Opportunities for spreading the word about the museum’s presence and its achievements have had to be shared out among the volunteers. The role would involve liaising with groups like the Tourist Information Office and Malvern Town Council to promote the museum’s activities. Providing press releases to the local papers and local radio would be another occasional feature. The museum publicises its events on its own website and has recently created an Instagram account too. There will be lots of support, with opportunities to develop and expand the role.
