Please contact us if you would like to join our committed team of friendly volunteers at the Centre or to get further information on what is involved in being a Volunteer.
Volunteers in our galleries work three-hour shifts, either 10am-1pm or 1pm-4pm. Our visitors frequently remark on how friendly and helpful our volunteers staff are, so you would be joining a great team. Check us out on TripAdvisor.

We are looking for a coordinator to manage our front of house volunteers and their rota and also to help train new recruits. Good people skills and endless patience are essential!
Front of House Volunteers
Assist with the day-to-day running of the Heritage Centre, welcoming visitors, explaining what there is to see and taking money for tickets and museum shop sales. You will need a friendly and engaging personality and to be reasonably fit and active. In particular we are looking for volunteers willing to work at the weekend (Saturdays 10-4, Sundays 12-4). Full training will be provided.
Grandma Flew Spitfires Stewards
If you have an interest in aviation and a willingness to engage with visitors and learn how to operate our Spitfire Simulator, why not apply to be one of our enthusiastic ATA stewards? Unlimited simulator flights are just one of the perks! In particular we are looking for volunteers willing to work at the weekend (Saturdays 10-4, Sundays 12-4).
Family events Volunteers
We would love to hear from volunteers who would like to help with the delivery of family activities in half-terms and the school holidays, ie craft days or story telling. You need to enjoy working with young people! Experience working in a family friendly environment would be really useful.
Marketing experience?
Would you like to help ‘sell’ Maidenhead Heritage Centre to a wider audience? Your experience could help us use our limited marketing budget more effectively.
Curatorial Volunteers
Our Curator Nick is looking for assistants to help with cataloguing the collection and carrying out regular collection audits. The oldest items in our collection are about 50,000 years old and you will get to “hold history in your hands”.
