Volunteering at Port Sunlight

If you have an eye for detail, enjoy data entry, and have a passion for history, this might be the role for you! We are looking for someone to work with us to complete an inventory check of our object stores. The role involves working directly with historic objects, systematically checking and recording a description of each item in our database, thereby helping to improve our records and knowledge of this collection. If you would like to learn more about the history of this unique village and develop skills and experience with collections, we’d love to hear from you. This project will initially last for 6 months, after which the project and role will be re-evaluated. 

Interviews will take place on 25th and 26th June. The likely start date for this role is likely to be early July.

The Edwardian Worker’s Cottage provides visitors with the opportunity to step inside a typical Port Sunlight cottage, experience everyday life during the early 20th century, and interact with a knowledgeable steward who can speak about living in Port Sunlight, today and in the past. You will be the sole PSVT representative at this venue and as such will be responsible for ensuring that visitors have an enjoyable and safe experience. Shifts available are 10am-1pm and/or 1pm-4pm. Each shift is 3 hours long and volunteers can do either the morning or afternoon shift.
