[Just to clarify, the Sir John Soane Museum is in London.]

Come and join us as a volunteer at this exciting time in the history of the Sir John Soane’s Museum! As a volunteer with us you will gain the chance to meet a variety of people, make friends, learn new skills and experience the complexities of working in this unique house museum.  Keep an eye on this page over the coming months for all the latest news and volunteer opportunities within the Museum…

We are currently looking for volunteers to help assist our front-of-house staff with room interpretation and offer visitors the chance to view newly restored areas of the house. This summer the Museum will see improved visitor facilities, the creation of a new Exhibition Gallery, Conservation Studios, and improvements that will allow full disabled access to the Museum – and that is just the start!
