Job description

Fairfax House is looking for volunteer Room Hosts!

Our Room Hosts are essential and valued members of our team. The museum cannot open to the public without them!

Volunteering at Fairfax House gives you the chance to protect and share a beautiful eighteenth-century townhouse. It’s also a great way to increase your skills and knowledge, especially if you’re interested in history, museums or education. 

It’s very flexible and a low time commitment - we only ask you to work one 2.5 hour shift a fortnight - but the difference you’ll make to our visitors is immeasurable. You’ll also be joining our volunteer community, so it’s a great way to meet like-minded people!

Is this role for me?

You don’t need any specific knowledge or experience for this role - we’ll give you full training which includes teaching you everything you need to know about the house. You’ll particularly enjoy this role if:

  • You enjoy chatting - especially chatting history - with people from all walks of life
  • You have an interest in history and love learning more
  • You can make a minimum commitment of one 2.5 hour shift once a fortnight

Tasks and responsibilities

  • Welcome visitors to Fairfax House
  • Give a great visitor experience
  • Tell the stories of the house and its collection
