House Experience Volunteer

REF: 6aa9551128af3

On the edge of the Peak District nestling within sweeping moorland, Lyme Park is a magnificent estate with the characters of the Legh family and servants imprinted on it. Its wild remoteness and powerful beauty contrast with one of the most famous country house images in England. The garden, house and park provide a backdrop for every mood, whether for letting off steam or quiet relaxation. It continues to be noble, glorious, and so much more than a walk in the park. We want all our volunteers to feel welcome and to have an equally positive experience when volunteering with us. So, volunteers will: • Be provided with the necessary induction, training, equipment and reasonable adjustments to do this role well and safely • Be offered expenses to cover agreed travel costs between home and place of volunteering. • Have remote access to support, news and rotas via our volunteer website Please search National Trust Volunteering to find out more about the role and others, and find out how to apply. https://myvolunteering.nationaltrust.org.uk/opportunity-view?id=a178b14b-8af2-489f-a361-fde5f0c2b7d5&distance=0.1
