Coleridge Cottage - House Experience Volunteer

We would like our volunteers to create a warm welcome for everyone who visits and share inspirational stories, curious facts and practical information about Samuel Taylor Coleridge or simply allow the space for visitors to wander at their own pace. Ensure that all the visitors are admitted and be able to respond to the different needs of different visitors, by looking out for ways to do the little things that make a big difference. We are looking for someone who can adapt to the changing needs of Coleridge Cottage through getting involved in supporting temporary exhibitions and permanent collections, researching, hosting, leading tours or leading talks. You will need to support us with health and safety and evacuation procedures if required and be a part of a team that may need to adapt and change in response to local needs, National Trust priorities or changes to government guidelines e.g .Covid. 

We want all our volunteers to feel welcome and to have an equally positive experience when volunteering with us. Volunteers will be provided with the necessary induction, training, equipment and reasonable adjustments to do this role well and safely. You will be offered expenses to cover agreed travel costs between home and place of volunteering and have remote access to support, news and rotas via our volunteer website.
