Hospitalfield Volunteer Programme

Hospitalfield’s volunteer programme offers people the chance to get involved in the life of the organisation, learn or develop new skills, and meet a wide range of people including other volunteers, visitors, artists and creative practitioners. Volunteers support all aspects of the venue’s work, events and projects, making a valuable contribution to the programme while gaining experience in a distinctive arts setting.

The programme welcomes people from all walks of life, especially those who are interested in Hospitalfield, keen to be part of a volunteer cohort, enthusiastic about trying new things, and open to both learning from others and sharing their own skills and experience. It is aimed at local people in Angus, Dundee, Tayside and the East Coast of Scotland, and the organisation is also keen to hear from people who are underrepresented in the arts and charity sectors.

Volunteer opportunities include Garden Club, where volunteers help with weeding, sowing seeds, potting plants and seasonal projects, and tour guiding, where volunteers learn the script and help share Hospitalfield’s history with visitors. New volunteers attend an induction, can join briefings and training, and may be able to claim local travel costs if getting to the site is a barrier.
