The Bluebell Railway operates a museum at their Sheffield Park Station which has interactive displays and locomotives on display known as SteamWorks! The main aim of SteamWorks! is to inform and entertain visitors. More than 60,000 visit the attraction every year. We needs volunteers to open SteamWorks each morning and to start up the interactive display, check that everything is working, do basic maintenance and clean the interactive screens. The work requires no previous experience or knowledge of railways or museums and is flexible. The hours are 9.30 to 11 am on what ever mornings you are available. The volunteer can attend as many or as few mornings as they wish. If the volunteer wishes they can also join the Museum team for the remainder or part of the day. Steamworks and the Museum known as the Waiting Room are both are at Sheffield Park Station. The volunteer will be part of a team of volunteers who work for the Bluebell Railway Trust which is totally staffed by volunteers. They will benefit from the comradery of a happy team, enjoy working in the heart of one of the world’s best preservation railways and get the satisfaction of being amongst many very happy and appreciative visitors. There are concessionary prices for most food and drinks purchased at the Bessemer Arms Restaurant on site. Training will be given.
