The museum relies on volunteers as it has limited staff, and so we need help to keep us open and things running smoothly.

  • Front of House Volunteers –  Tuesdays, Wednesdays,  or Bank Holiday Mondays 

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.  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 or cash, 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.

  • Memorial Garden Volunteers – Monday to Saturday

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.

  • Collection Volunteers –  Mondays or Thursdays

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.

  • Digitization Volunteer – Wednesdays

We have an ongoing programme of digitizing our large photograph collection, and cataloguing them. If you have a keen eye for detail and are computer literate, this may be something you could help with.

  • Activities and Events – Mondays or Fridays

We would love for someone creative to help us with designing family activities and trails for both the school holidays and for general use.

  • Education Volunteers – as required Monday to Friday

We do not have schools visiting every day, but could use some help to escort them around the WMM site and help with the education sessions.

 

If you are interested in any of these projects, please email us at museum@royalhampshireregiment.org stating your choice.

 

Work Experience and University Placements – 2026 – 27

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.

We can offer work experience to Year 10 -13 for a week in term-time. We have very limited slots so do contact us early if you wish to apply for one.

Please email us at museum@royalhampshireregiment.org to inquire.
