Volunteer Visitor Engagement Officer

As the city heads towards the 2025 City of Culture Year with weekly events taking place in Centenary Square the museum is seeking to recruit a number of enthusiastic Volunteer Visitor Engagement Officers (VEO) to join our team. The ideal candidate will be passionate about history, enjoy engaging with the public, and possess excellent communication skills.

As a VEO, you will be the welcoming face of the museum, dressed in period-appropriate Victorian attire. This unique role involves interacting with the public, promoting the museum’s fascinating exhibits, and encouraging visitors to explore Bradford’s rich history.

Responsibilities:

• Greet and engage with visitors outside the museum, inviting them to explore its unique exhibits.
• Wear provided Victorian attire and serve as a living history representative.
• Inform visitors about upcoming events, activities, and historical highlights.
• Contribute to a memorable, immersive experience for guests of all ages.

Ideal candidates will:

• Enjoy interacting with people from diverse backgrounds.
• Have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Be comfortable wearing period costumes and engaging in roleplay.
• Be passionate about Bradford’s history and eager to share their enthusiasm with others.

Volunteers must be available to work a minimum of 4 hours per week during museum opening hours, which are Fridays and Saturdays from March to November.

This is an unpaid position; however, successful applicants will gain valuable experience in public speaking, customer service, and marketing while contributing to the preservation of Bradford’s history during this exciting cultural event.
