Become a Volunteer at Bletchley Park

Public interest in Bletchley Park continues to grow and with it the workload.  Visitor numbers have doubled in three years and the Trust is heavily reliant on its volunteer workforce for the running of the museum.  Would you like to play a part in the future of Bletchley Park?   Download this application form if you can spare some of your time, however little, to support us.  Volunteer roles available are as follows;-

TOUR GUIDES
Visitors to Bletchley Park are able to enjoy daily tours thanks to our army of Volunteer Tour Guides.  Could you bring a secret World War II site to life for groups of up to forty visitors? Training would be given and our Guides agree that their work is tremendously rewarding, despite having to take tour groups round the site in all weathers!  Tours last about one and a half hours and are aimed at giving visitors a general synopsis of the fascinating work done on the site during WWII.  Due to an increase in visitor numbers we currently have a critical shortage of Tour Guides so please do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested.

Persons required, preferably with teaching experience, to assist the education department in delivering our programme for schools. This covers age ranges from KS1- A'level, and we require volunteers with a range of expertise. If you would like to teach students about the maths behind cracking enigma, run
code-breaking sessions, give walking tours, supervise museum visits or offer your time in the production of new courses, please get in touch.
