Museum Volunteers

The West Midlands Police Museum is dedicated to telling the history of policing in the West Midlands from the early days of law and order right through to today. As well as talking about the past, we’ll also be engaging visitors with current policing messages. We need your help to tell these important stories to our visitors.

Main activities of the role: 

Supporting the Museum Engagement Officer and other staff with museum tours, educational inputs and hands-on activities, as required; 

A combination of collaborative and independent work, including some opportunities for costumed role play; 

Outreach work within local schools and other organisations (if you have indicated that you are able to do so). 

Any necessary training will be provided.

Skills and experience needed: 

Passion for policing heritage and museums; 

Confidence to engage with the public, in particular children and young people; 

Great communication skills; 

Enthusiasm for learning; 

Willingness to travel to the Lock-Up (Birmingham) and other venues if required; 

A professional approach to working with vulnerable persons.
