Can you help bring history to life?
Join our growing team of friendly, enthusiastic volunteers and help us make Chelmsford Museum a safe, fun, educational experience for visitors of all ages.
Whether it is meeting and greeting, leading a tour, welcoming people to the galleries, helping people understand and engage with the collections, or stewarding a temporary exhibition, we want to put volunteers at the heart of the visitor experience and ensure that every visit is a special one.
Volunteers also help to protect the collections by being vigilant with regard to safety and security, assist people with disabilities or learning difficulties, and help with educational sessions.
Please get in touch for more details.
