Collections Trustee
Haslemere Educational Museum is seeking a Collections Trustee to join our Board and help guide the care and future development of our remarkable collections.
Founded in 1888, we are one of the UK's oldest independent museums and care for over 400,000 objects covering natural history, human history and geology. As an independent charity with no regular public funding, strong governance is essential to our sustainability and success.

Key areas include documentation, conservation, access, acquisitions, loans, disposals, provenance and compliance with sector standards (Spectrum, Accreditation, Museums Association Code of Ethics).
We are looking for someone with senior professional experience in museum collections management or curatorial work, strong knowledge of sector standards, and the ability to contribute constructively at Board level.
We particularly welcome experience in specialist collections areas such as natural history, geology or social history.
Commitment: 6 Board meetings/year + annual Strategy Day (approx. 6–8 hrs./month) Location: Haslemere, Surrey Role: Voluntary (expenses reimbursed), 3-year term renewable.
To apply, please send your CV and a supporting statement outlining your interest and relevant experience to Dan McWilliam, Chief Executive, by email to: danmcwilliam@haslemeremuseum.co.uk

Haslemere Museum Voluntary
Garden Volunteers
We are currently looking for new garden volunteers to join our team. Anyone with half a day or so to spare can benefit from spending time in the Museum's beautiful grounds, helping to keep things tidy and cut back. If volunteers are also able to turn their hand to some occasional indoor DIY, that would be a bonus. Please contact volunteers@haslemeremuseum.co.uk.
