Room Host at Fairfax House

Fairfax House is looking for volunteer Room Hosts!

Why volunteer with us?

Volunteering at Fairfax House gives you the chance to protect and share a beautiful eighteenth century townhouse. 

Our Room Hosts are essential and valued members of our team. They welcome visitors to the house, give a great visitor experience, and tell its many intriguing stories. It’s a great way to increase your skills and knowledge, especially if you’re interested in history, museums or education. 

It’s very flexible and a low time commitment - we only ask you to work one 2.5 hour shift a fortnight, entirely around your availability - but the difference you’ll make to our visitors is immeasurable. You’ll also be joining our volunteer community, so it’s a great way to meet like-minded people!

Is this role for me?

You don’t need any specific knowledge or experience for this role - we’ll give you full training which includes teaching you everything you need to know about the house. You’ll particularly enjoy this role if:

• You enjoy chatting - especially chatting history - with people from all walks of life
• You have an interest in history and love learning more
• You can make a minimum commitment of one 2.5 hour shift a fortnight
