Gallery Steward Volunteer

Two Temple Place is a magnificent neo-Tudor gem in central London, built in 1895 for William Waldorf Astor. In 2011 we opened our first annual free exhibition, and since then exhibitions have welcomed 460,000 visitors. We run a growing programme of cultural and community events designed to open our doors more often, to more people. We rely on our friendly and enthusiastic team of about 200 volunteers to make our free exhibitions possible. We are recruiting volunteers for our 2027 exhibition, Gathering Rest (23 January - 18 April 2027) which will look at how contemporary artists are exploring personal and collective experiences of rest as an expression of intimacy, repair and solidarity. Featuring works by modern and contemporary artists drawn from public collections and artists across the UK, the exhibition highlights practices that engage the senses and reshape experience.

Volunteers provide support in a front of house role by:
•Welcoming and engaging with visitors
•Ensuring the safety of visitors and exhibition objects
•Providing information about the building, the exhibitions, and events
•Looking after the gallery spaces
•Helping us run the exhibition shop (optional)

We look to recruit volunteers who are:
•Friendly and polite
•Helpful and use initiative 
•Punctual and reliable
•Keen to learn and enthusiastic

We welcome people of all abilities and offer a supportive environment for those with additional needs. We provide all training for the role; no prior volunteering or gallery experience is needed, just enthusiasm and commitment.
