Volunteering
Calling all Towner and art enthusiasts! Towner is now recruiting Volunteers to assist its frontline team.
Successful candidates will be on hand to meet and greet visitors and share information on the building, our renowned collection and our exhibitions and events. Working alongside our Gallery Assistants, you will play a vital role in our award-winning gallery and our unique visitor experience.
Volunteers will display excellent standards of customer service. You will have a proactive attitude towards helping visitors understand and enjoy Towner and its exhibitions.
Benefits of volunteering include:
- a full programme of training
- staff briefings on each exhibition, the collection and Towner’s architecture
- building skills, confidence and working knowledge of an art gallery environment
- contributing to the cultural heart of your community
- social events
- 15% discount in the Towner shop
You will be allocated as many or as few shifts per week as you feel you can contribute to Towner. Each shift is four hours long, covering our general hours of opening (Tuesday – Sunday 10 – 6pm).
