Gallery Steward Volunteer
Two Temple Place are recruiting volunteers for our 2025 exhibition, Lives Less Ordinary, a celebration of the often over-looked richness and diversity of working-class
life and creative expression in post-war Britain. Come join our team!
Volunteers provide support in a front of house role by:
• Welcoming and engaging with visitors
• Providing information about the building, the exhibitions, and events
• Helping us run the exhibition shop
• Looking after the gallery spaces
• Ensuring the safety of visitors and exhibition objects
Benefits to volunteering with us:
• Training and work experience (visitor services, retail, and gallery experience) and references for other roles
• An opportunity to meet new people from different backgrounds
• Discount on purchases in our exhibition shop • An annual Volunteers’ party at Two Temple Place
• Exclusive visits to other museums/galleries and cultural venues in London
• Access to curator tours
• The opportunity to make new friends and share your enthusiasm
• The opportunity to become part of a supportive team and community
Volunteer training sessions take place in January and includes:
• The history of the building
• An introduction to the exhibition
• Visitor services guidance
• An introduction to the exhibition shop
• How to use two-way radios (for communicating in the building)
• Fire, health, and safety procedures
We look to recruit volunteers who are:
• Friendly & polite
• Helpful & proactive
• Punctual & reliable
• Keen to learn & enthusiastic
We welcome people of all abilities and offer a supportive environment for those with additional needs. We provide all training for the role; no prior volunteering or gallery experience is needed, just enthusiasm and commitment!
