We are looking for friendly and customer focused people who want to work in a caring, friendly and supportive environment. You don’t have to be interested in aviation or heritage but we do ask that you are enthusiastic and have a willingness to learn. This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking for work experience, looking to get back into the workplace or someone who just has a few hours to spare. You can volunteer as little as a few hours per week and if you feel that the shop is not the place for you, we have many volunteering opportunities throughout the museum.
