Volunteering is a great way to be a part of Yorkshire Sculpture Park’s work.

We are developing a new group of volunteers to provide a meet and greet information service and to help us maintain a high quality of experience for all our visitors. In this role you will be an important ambassador for YSP, providing a helpful and friendly welcome and information on exhibitions, activities and the site in general. Please download the role description if you would like more information about this opportunity. If you would like to help us develop this team please complete and forward the volunteer application form.

Opportunities also arise from time to time in other areas of YSP:

• Art and Landscape Volunteers – A new role to help with the interpretation of the art and heritage of YSP and the site which it occupies. The main task for these volunteers will be leading free, art and heritage-based tours of the landscape for visitors. Volunteers will be given training on the art and heritage of the site, interpretation techniques, and will be encouraged to develop their own tours and style of delivery around their own particular interests.
• Learning Programme Volunteers – The Learning team regularly requires the help of volunteers when running educational arts activities and events. This is great experience for people who want to work with the public or in education and could involve sessions with people of all ages and backgrounds.
• Volunteer Gallery Assistant – Providing a high level of visitor service through communication and interaction whilst invigilating exhibitions in the indoor galleries.
• National Arts Education Archive – We are seeking a recently qualified archivist/art historian with a keen interest in the history of arts education to assist the archive custodian for one or two days a week. This would be a good opportunity to gain work experience and contribute to the development of this wonderful resource. The role would involve working closely with the archive custodian in day to day management, organisation and handling of collections and liaising with other volunteers and staff.
