Brook Rural Museum

We are recruiting for a part-time Volunteer Coordinator & Administrator

Overview:

Salary: £16 per hour / Volunteer

Hours: 2 hours per week

Location: Brook Rural Museum, Brook, Ashford, TN25 5PF

Reporting to: Community Engagement & Project Manager, and the Chair of Wye Rural Museum Trust

___________________________________________________________________________________

Brook Rural Museum is a unique museum, with a great collection of farming and rural life objects housed in a magnificent 14th century barn and 19th century oasthouse situated at the foot of the North Downs.

The museum is a charity operated by a group of experienced trustees and volunteers, who secured two substantial National Lottery Heritage Grants in 2022 and 2024. This has allowed the museum to employ a group of highly committed part-time staff who are working with trustees and volunteers to transform our activities and visitor numbers. For images and further information about the museum, visit: https://brookruralmuseum.org.uk/

We are looking for someone to help recruit and organise volunteers in Brook and Ashford, and the surrounding communities and to help with the museum’s general administration.

The role will suit someone who enjoys working with and enthusing other people. Most of the work can be undertaken from home.

Depending on your circumstances this could be an entirely voluntary role (e.g. for someone who has recently retired and would like to take on a new and rewarding, people-facing role) or one for which the museum could pay £16 per hour for two hours per week.

This role is subject to an enhanced DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) check.
