Gallery Volunteers 

Are you an enthusiastic team worker with an interest in arts & heritage? 

This is an exciting time to join the GHT front of house team as a gallery volunteer on a temporary basis, as we prepare for an internationally significant exhibition coming to GHT at the start of Jane Austen’s 250th anniversary year; In training for a Heroine. 

In training for a Heroine features Jane Austen’s travelling writing desk on loan from the British Library, as well as a new commission by a contemporary artist, offering audiences an opportunity to interpret Austen through a contemporary lens and explore the wit, wisdom and legacy of Austen while also challenging pre-conceived ideas of her work.

Our aim is to recruit a pool of flexible and reliable individuals on a temporary, casual basis to support the wider front of house team with delivering an excellent experience to all visitors over the course of the exhibition. You will be part of a small team of volunteer invigilators and together be responsible for greeting visitors, invigilating the galleries and assisting with visitor flow. This role is the perfect fit for a reliable and engaging person who is committed to our work and ethos and will support the venue in this exciting opportunity.

Deadline: Thursday, 19th September, 9 AM.
