Join the Team

Our day to day offerings and diverse programming would not be possible without our wonderful team of staff and volunteers.

If you are interested in joining us please keep an eye out for our posted vacancies below.


Volunteers

Our volunteer team is essential to the daily running of the House. By volunteering with us you can meet new people and learn what it’s like to work in a historic house. Our current volunteer vacancies are listed below:

Front-of-House Volunteer

As a front-of-house volunteer you are a vital aspect of our visitor welcome. You will provide a warm welcome to visitors, introduce our main offer the Historical Experience and follow-up with Q&A sessions, as well as process ticket bookings/sales.

Social Media Volunteer

As a social media volunteer you are a vital part of our community engagement.

You will create content for our Tiktok and Instagram accounts to help encourage visitors to Benjamin Franklin House and to promote our events!

Education Volunteer

Our education volunteers support our Education Manager with workshops for KS2 pupils on Tuesdays. This will involve engaging pupils with science demonstrations and interactive games.

UPDATE: May 2022: Applications wanted!

We are currently looking for more Education Volunteers to help support our School Visits and Family Days at Benjamin Franklin House. Please email education@benjaminfranklinhouse.org to apply or find out more about volunteering.
