If you are friendly and confident in meeting new people, then this is an ideal role for you. We need some new people to join the team to cover Front of House, assisting the staff. This role involves chatting to visitors, helping to open and close the museum, assisting with enquiries, selling items from the museum shop via contactless payments, and generally ensuring that all our visitors have a great experience. You do not need to have a vast knowledge of the regimental history as information sheets and training are provided.
We currently have some very hard-working volunteers who keep the lawn mowed and the rose beds tidy and weeded. We would love to have some more green-fingered people on the team to help them. If you would like to garden but do not have your own space, then come along and help in ours.
We have vacancies to assist with collections work. This could be checking, repackaging and labelling items in the collection, checking and updating catalogue entries, and other related tasks.
We are currently undertaking a programme of digitising our huge photographic collection so that it can be preserved for the future. If you like old photographs (ours date from 1860 onwards) and have a keen eye for detail and would like to help with identifying and cataloguing these as well as digitising, then you would enjoy this role.
If you are interested in any of these projects, please email us at museum@royalhampshireregiment.org
Work Experience and University Placements – 2025
Unfortunately we are unable to take any more Work Experience placements for Year 10 or 11 Students in 2025 as we are at full capacity.
We can offer placements to university students who wish to come in for a regular slot each week. We currently have the vacancies listed above available to students. As the museum is small, we can only take 1 student at a time.
Please email us at museum@royalhampshireregiment.org to inquire.
