Volunteering with us!

The Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution is a charity promoting advancement in the arts and sciences. With the commitment, energy and skills of our wonderful volunteers, The Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution has become a centre of cultural activity open to all.
Reasons you might want to volunteer with us:

  • Are you looking for opportunities to extend your work experience or build your CV?
  • Do you enjoy learning something new every day?
  • Would you like to meet interesting new friends?
  • Have you retired recently, and found you would still like to put your skills and intelligence into something that counts?
  • Are you looking for a student placement in the Heritage Sector?

If you have a passion for the arts and sciences, then volunteering at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution might well be for you. What we look for in our volunteers above all else is commitment and warmth. Whether you have a couple of hours a month or can make a regular weekly commitment, we would love to hear from you.

In return, The Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution promises to extend full training to all our volunteers and support them as they grow  within their new roles. We offer a working environment which is both rich and stimulating; additionally, we offer our volunteers an exciting calendar of social events.
