Provide a warm welcome in our Museum

Are you a good communicator with a warm and friendly approach? Are you interested in pottery and the history of our unique site? Do you feel confident with ensuring everyone is treated equitably and to offer support needs when required? Do you feel happy selling and packaging pots from the temporary exhibition space?

We are looking for someone to volunteer on our Welcome desk on Friday afternoons 1-5 at our Museum at the top of St Ives. This will involve welcoming a range of visitors - from museum visitors, to tours and learning workshop participants, giving a brief overview of the site, taking payment for and wrapping pots and offering additional support where appropriate. Full training will be given.

Benefits of Volunteering and Leach:

Volunteering is a great way of developing your knowledge of pottery and the arts, meeting friendly people and making a difference.

As a volunteer with us, you can become part of the Cornish Heritage Volunteers Scheme, which offers you free access to a number of Cornwall based arts and heritage locations and National Trust properties. We also offer 20% off Leach pottery in the shop and 10% off some courses. We offer full and ongoing training alongside quarterly Volunteer creative workshops.

In return we ask for a weekly commitment  of 1/2 a day during the above hours (holidays accommodated).
