Volunteer at the museum
Volunteers are an integral part of our team. As a volunteer, you will contribute both to the development of museum activities as well as day-to-day operations, ensuring a warm welcome for all our visitors.
Work Experience
The Design Museum recognises that work experience is different from volunteering.
The museum is currently focusing on core activities and consequently regrets it does not have the capacity to organise work experience placements, neither for groups nor individuals.
Volunteering opportunities
The museum currently offers two volunteering roles to suit a wide range of adults (18yrs+) who enjoy working with the public and can be available on a regular basis.
Welcomers – create a welcoming atmosphere and advise and support visitors with excellent customer service
Pioneers – share stewardship of the Dame Sylvia Crowe garden and support the Growing Together project, exploring horticulture and design as catalysts for social change.
Please note that we're not currently recruiting volunteers.
New volunteering opportunities will be posted on this page, please check again in the future.
