Volunteers:
Beaconsfield operates a volunteer programme linked directly to our exhibitions and events, as well as occasional office-based work. Volunteering at Beaconsfield is a great opportunity to be part of a small friendly team and to gain experience in a contemporary art organisation.
Volunteer invigilators: as first point of contact to the public volunteer invigilators play a vital role in providing visitors with information and a warm welcome, and ensuring the smooth running of the public space. They also support staff running the small gallery café. We ask for your commitment and enthusiasm for the length of the show and, in return, will provide experience and a reference (on request).
Beaconsfield has now recruited volunteers for our next project. We will next be looking for volunteers in autumn 2008. Please contact Beaconsfield if you are interested in becoming a volunteer invigilator.
