Summary
The primary function of this volunteering role will be to ensure that website information about the museum is regularly updated.Detailed description
The primary function of this volunteering role will be to ensure that information about the museum is regularly updated and is kept current in a timely manner. Obviously hours are extremely flexible and this is a role that can be carried out anywhere (Space is available in our offices on an ad hoc basis). Access will be provided to IWM Duxford as a working knowledge of the different functions of the Museum will be essential.
The British Airliner collection needs someone to help keep our website updated to tell the world what the British Airliner Collection Museum offers visitors to IWM Duxford, including
- Anything relevant to their visit to our Museum, particularly for families and people with limitations that impact their ability to visit our exhibits
- Ensuring that aviation enthusiasts have a trusted source for technical details of our
classic aircraft and workshop news
- How to purchase one of our experiences
- How Clubs and groups can book tailored tours or request a talk for one of their meetings.
The website will be designed to make this job interesting and fulfilling (rather than a technical challenge) and you’ll be making a very important contribution to the British Airliner Collection Museum. It’s an exciting new role and you will be in at the start of the project, if you have relevant experience you will have a chance to provide input in the design phase of the new website (if not you can just join in to see how we are thinking).
An interest in communicating is more important than IT skills as training on uploading will be available, along with editorial support.
What we will provide to volunteers
🤝 Extra supportAbout Duxford Aviation Society
The museum collection is located on the IWM site at Duxford and has a total of 13 different British built aircraft ranging from the 1940s through the early transition of prop, turboprop and on to the last of the British built jet airliners of the 1980s and includes the unique British pre-production Concorde.
Most of these beautiful machines are open to the public. All of them require care and attention to enable the story of the heyday of British aviation to be told both now and for future generations.
We’re always looking for people to join us as volunteers and give a little of their time, expertise and experience to other like-minded members and the public.
