The Devon Rural Archive at Shilstone is looking for volunteers to assist with digital marketing and events. This is an opportunity to gain voluntary experience with a charitable organisation committed to preserving our county’s heritage, and would suit someone interested in Heritage, Marketing and Events careers. We are very keen to hear from those who enjoy creating content for social media, and who are confident speaking to camera.
Tasks will include creating social media posts and reels (for Facebook, Instagram and TikTok), going out and about to local sites of interest to take photos and videos, conducting research tasks (e.g. compiling lists of local contacts and events), supporting events in-person, and general administrative tasks.
The Archive is open Wednesday to Sunday 10.30am-4pm, and we are flexible regarding number of hours you might like to volunteer with us. Volunteers will need access to their own vehicle as Shilstone is in a rural area not connected by public transport.
Shilstone has a lovely Café, and volunteers can have 2 free hot drinks a day and a free meal on a weekend when they volunteer with us, and they get a 50% discount on meals in the Shilstone Café. Volunteers can also claim back mileage for traveling to and from the Archive.
Please contact [email protected] with a CV and covering email if you would like to apply for this voluntary position, or with any questions.
