Museum of Communication
- VO100915
The Museum of Communication aims to study, collect, preserve and exhibit items that tell the story of communication from the days of pre-electric telegraph to the latest state-of-the-art technology. The museum is run entirely by volunteers, and they are looking to grow their team with Events Assistants.
The museum hosts lectures throughout the year on a variety of topics, and engages in outreach activities in schools, clubs and societies in the local community. As an Events Assistant, you can get involved with planning and hosting lectures, or with arranging and attending outreach events. Recent lectures have included Commonwealth War Graves and D-Day, and typically include historical topics and the role of communication within them.
If you would like to gain experience of events, have an interest in history, or are passionate about engaging local people in learning, this is the perfect role for you.

Museum of Communication is looking for volunteers that are confident in communicating with members of the public and are willing to learn about the museum. No previous experience is needed.
