Shop Reception Volunteers

Do you have a welcoming manner? Like varied tasks? The Shop Reception Volunteer role may suit you.

The Gordon Highlanders Museum is committed to preserving and sharing the legacy of the world famous Gordon Highlanders Regiment for future generations. A Gordon Highlanders Museum Guide brings to life the extraordinary 200 year story of ‘The Finest Regiment in the World’. (Sir Winston Churchill 1900).

A Shop/reception Volunteer is the first point of contact for Visitors to the Museum whether they are interested in going round the exhibitions, meeting with a volunteer or member of staff or visiting the tea room. Stocking the shop shelves, dealing with enquiries, operating the till, cash handling and credit card sales are all part of this busy role.


A fantastic opportunity to help at an award winning Museum. All help is greatly appreciated.
