Trustees wanted for Nantgarw China Works Museum
Nantgarw China Works is home to the finest porcelain ever produced. It was established in 1813 and produced porcelain that has achieved international fame before producing earthenware for daily use until 1920. The site was rescued from total decay in 1990 but many of the Scheduled historic structures remain in urgent need of care. Today the China Works is a museum displaying the history of the porcelain and pottery produced at the site, a working pottery where three ceramicists are based (one of whom produces porcelain items from the rediscovered recipe of 1813), and a major teaching institution running some 500 workshop sessions in heritage crafts. The site is a popular venue for local groups and societies as well as an increasing number of coach tours.
Since 2007 the Museum has been operated by a charitable trust which determines the strategic directions for its development. It is staffed by volunteers who carry out a wide range of duties under the oversight of our Strategic Development Manager. After considerable growth over the past decade, we are now focussed on the steps necessary for expansion and sustainability. We are currently seeking to achieve Accredited Museum status and in line with our vision and the conclusions of a recent Options Appraisal exercise are working on developing a multi-million-pound application to ‘transform where the world’s finest porcelain was made into a vibrant centre for ceramic history and contemporary innovation.’
At this exciting time in our history, we would welcome applications to join the existing seven members of the Trustee board. Trustees are unpaid and meet formally six times a year but are expected to develop a close relationship with the site and help in any way they can. Working together, Trustees are expected to:
- Set the strategic framework and direction to enable the Museum to deliver benefits to the public, to achieve its goals and to flourish
- Ensure that the charity is carrying out its purposes for the benefit of the public
- Comply with our governing document and the law
- Act in the charity’s best interests
- Manage the charity’s resources responsibly
- Act with reasonable care and skill and ensure the charity is accountable
- Adhere to the Code of Ethics for museums
We would be particularly interested in hearing from applicants who can contribute in the areas of:
- Education, learning and public engagement, particularly in the context of the new Welsh Curriculum
- Historic buildings management and building conservation
- Emerging technologies for interpretation and presentation
Nantgarw China Works is dedicated to diversity, equality and inclusivity. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds. Our commitment extends to providing an inclusive recruitment process. If you require accommodations or have specific needs, please let us know.
Galw am ymddiriedolwyr ar gyfer Amgueddfa Crochendy Nantgarw
Mae Crochendy Nantgarw yn gartref i’r porslen gorau a gynhyrchwyd erioed. Fe’i sefydlwyd ym 1813 a chynhyrchodd borslen sydd wedi ennill bri rhyngwladol cyn cynhyrchu llestri pridd at ddefnydd bob dydd tan 1920. Achubwyd y safle rhag dadfeiliad llwyr ym 1990, ond mae llawer o’r strwythurau hanesyddol Rhestredig yn parhau i fod angen gofal brys. Heddiw, mae’r Crochendy yn amgueddfa sy’n arddangos hanes y porslen a’r crochenwaith a gynhyrchwyd ar y safle. Mae hefyd yn grochendy gweithredol lle mae tri seramegydd wedi’u lleoli (y mae un ohonyn nhw’n cynhyrchu eitemau porslen o hen rysáit 1813 a ail-ddarganfuwyd), a sefydliad addysgu mawr sy’n rhedeg 500 o sesiynau gweithdy mewn crefftau treftadaeth. Mae’r safle yn lleoliad poblogaidd ar gyfer grwpiau a chymdeithasau lleol yn ogystal â nifer cynyddol o deithiau bws.
Ers 2007 mae’r Amgueddfa wedi’i gweithredu gan ymddiriedolaeth elusennol sy’n penderfynu’r cyfeiriad strategol ar gyfer ei datblygiad. Mae’n cael ei staffio gan wirfoddolwyr sy’n cyflawni ystod eang o ddyletswyddau dan arolygiaeth ein Rheolwr Datblygu Strategol. Ar ôl twf sylweddol dros y degawd diwethaf, rydym bellach yn canolbwyntio ar y camau angenrheidiol ar gyfer ehangu a chynaliadwyedd. Ar hyn o bryd, rydym yn ceisio ennill statws Amgueddfa Achrededig ac, yn unol â’n gweledigaeth a chasgliadau yr ymarferiad Arfarnu Opsiynau diweddar, rydym yn gweithio ar ddatblygu cais gwerth miliynau o bunnoedd i ‘drawsnewid y safle, lle y gwnaed porslen gorau’r byd, mewn i ganolfan fywiog i’r cyhoedd sy’n canolbwyntio ar hanes cerameg ac arloesi cyfoes.’
Ar yr adeg gyffrous hon yn ein hanes, byddem yn croesawu ceisiadau i ymuno â saith aelod presennol bwrdd yr Ymddiriedolwyr. Mae’r Ymddiriedolwyr yn ddi-dâl ac yn cyfarfod yn ffurfiol chwe gwaith y flwyddyn ond disgwylir iddyn nhw feithrin perthynas agos â’r safle a helpu mewn unrhyw ffordd y gallan nhw. Gan gydweithio, disgwylir i Ymddiriedolwyr:
- Pennu’r fframwaith a’r cyfeiriad strategol i alluogi’r Amgueddfa i sicrhau buddion i’r cyhoedd, i gyflawni ei nodau ac i ffynnu
- Sicrhau bod yr elusen yn cyflawni ei dibenion er budd y cyhoedd
- Cydymffurfio â’n dogfen lywodraethol a’r gyfraith
- Gweithredu er lles gorau’r elusen
- Rheoli adnoddau’r elusen yn gyfrifol
- Gweithredu gyda gofal a sgìl rhesymol a sicrhau bod yr elusen yn atebol
- Cadw at y Cod Moeseg ar gyfer amgueddfeydd
Byddai gennym ddiddordeb arbennig mewn clywed gan ymgeiswyr a all gyfrannu yn y meysydd canlynol:
- Addysg, dysgu ac ymgysylltu â’r cyhoedd, yn enwedig yng nghyd-destun y Cwricwlwm i Gymru newydd
- Rheoli adeiladau hanesyddol a chadwraeth adeiladau
- Technolegau newydd ar gyfer dehongli a chyflwyno
Mae Crochendy Nantgarw yn ymroddedig i amrywiaeth, cydraddoldeb a chynhwysiant. Rydym yn croesawu ceisiadau gan unigolion o bob cefndir. Mae ein hymrwymiad yn ymestyn i ddarparu proses recriwtio gynhwysol. Os oes angen llety arnoch neu os oes gennych anghenion penodol, rhowch wybod i ni.

This project is an affordable school for the children of the town whose parents belong to the working class. Children have access to languague education.
Volunteer's Tasks
The volunteers use their knowledge of English to help the students in group classes. The presence of native speakers evidently is very helpful to the children’s learning of the language.
Your role in the school will be proportionate to your level of Spanish and the amount of time you can volunteer for. Consequently, this program is ideal for undergraduate students of modern languages on a year abroad, particularly those interested in teaching. If your Spanish and/or time is limited, you will be able to assist classes.
Why is this project important for the community?
Although there are no professional teachers, the volunteer teachers provide a rich and cultured education. Other English schools are between three to five times more expensive than this one, therefore, parents living in nearby neighborhoods are not able to send all of their children to study English. This is why the school is important for the community; it allows all the children to have the same opportunities and access to education, and it is also a way to fight for social justice. There is a lack of infrastructure, such as running water and paved roads in this particular neighbourhood and it is also known to be “left aside” because the state does not intervene. However, the school helps the families and also the young people of the town, because it also provides a first-job opportunity to students that are more advanced. This allows students to have a disposable income with which they can travel; an almost foreign opportunity to most.
Local Coordination
Silvia, the owner and director of the school, is also the coordinator for Voluntario Global there. She has made this a place of recreation, where the children come in the late afternoon, after going to school, to study English while taking a cup of tea in a relaxed and family atmosphere.
What can you learn as a volunteer?
Learning is a two-way street because the volunteer also learns through this experience. Their official duties are to assist the teenaged teachers, help them with pronunciation or grammatical rules, correct homework, read and explain to the children the basic elements of the language. Moreover, they can also help the oldest students get ready for international exams. This work allows the volunteer to exchange with people from different cultures, mainly thanks to the mix between communities from various countries of Latin America. Furthermore, teaching is the perfect exercise to learn how to speak to an audience and to get its attention. The volunteer learns to communicate with the youngest children who don't speak English correctly, and is able to learn how to adapt quickly and use other means of communication. Above all, the volunteer is able to create relationships with their students that will go beyond the classroom.
How does your work impact on the community?
Not only does this school offer the families a chance to further their education, it also provides a center for community. It is a place of exchange and hope, based on the idea that the children are able to study and to have a good future, because their parents were not awarded with the same opportunities even if the schools and the best universities are free. Students are able to connect more intimately with the volunteers and share their cultural differences, their accents, theirs travels and more. The volunteers also symbolize hope for the students that admire them because they are role models. They make the students believe in a brighter future and instil in them the motivation and aspiration to achieve their goals, no matter how big and regardless of their current socioeconomic status.
Schedule
The school is open from March to mid-December and works Monday through Friday, 4.30 to 7.30pm. It welcomes between 80 and 90 students of all levels and ages, for two-hour lessons. They also teach on Saturday morning to adult students, but the volunteer will be able to choose if to attend on the weekends or not.
Fee includes (600 USD):
- Pre departure information.
- In country coordination.
- Tutoring, constant communication and guidance with your coordinator and Exchange Volunteer Meetings.
- Volunteer Certificate and Performance Evaluation

Why is this project important for the community?
This project is important because the institute is located in a working-class neighbourhood where learning English can be useful since the majority of the locals would never have the opportunity to speak English or meeting native speakers in their area. The hardest thing is being able to keep up with modern and technological demands and also keeping the students interest in learning the language and getting to know different cultures.
Volunteer's Tasks
Volunteers are expected to assist teachers in class. The presence of native speakers evidently is very helpful to the children’s learning of the language, but anyone with knowledge of English and enthusiasm to get to know another part of Buenos Aires is welcome. When they reach the last level, namely 6th year, they are expected to have reached an upper-intermediate or advanced level of the language and to sit an international exam called Cambridge First Certificate.
Local Coordination
This English Institute opened in 2000 offering courses of English for children and teenagers in particular, and eventually for adults. It is located in Ciudadela, a small middle class town just outside the city of Buenos Aires. You can take either the bus or train to get there, which will take approximately 1 hour. On your first day, you will have an informal chat with the director, Laura, where she will explain how the school runs and tell you in which classes you can help.
What can you learn as a volunteer?
You will have the chance to know another part of Buenos Aires, commuted with the locals, and amplify your perspective immersing on the day to day of a working class neighbourhood. Assisting the english classes at this institute gives volunteers the opportunity to learn about different aspects of the argentinian culture and deepen cultural exchange in an educational environment .
How does your work impact on the community?
This school amplify the chances to further their education, and provides students the opportunity to forge a brighter professional future. Students are also able to bond with the volunteers through their cultural differences, their accents, theirs travels and more.
Schedule
Courses are delivered from Monday to Thursday in the afternoon. Students attend the classes previously coordinated with the director, and depending on the course, classes last 60, 75 or 90 minutes
Fee includes (600 USD):
- Pre departure information.
- In country coordination.
- Tutoring, constant communication and guidance with your coordinator and Exchange Volunteer Meetings.
