Volunteer With Us

Bolsover Castle Bookshop Volunteer

We are looking for volunteers to help us manage and maintain our second-hand bookshops. 

Second-hand Bookshop volunteers help the charity to raise valuable income by ensuring a great range of second-hand books is on offer. In turn this income is reinvested in supporting the work of English Heritage at local sites.

Second-hand Bookshop volunteers will ensure a well-stocked and looked after second-hand bookshop by:

  • Providing excellent service to our visitors, which ensures they have a warm welcome and enjoyable visit
  • Sorting and pricing donated books into relevant categories to be stocked in the secondhand bookshop
  • Supporting the development of the second-hand bookshop by working with the rest of the team to develop systems and processes for maintaining and managing the bookshop
  • Supporting visitors by responding to enquiries and feedback
  • Supporting donation of second-hand bookshop by developing calls for donations
  • Giving feedback to English Heritage Staff with any customer feedback 
  • Maintaining excellent standards of site and personal presentation at all times
  • Looking at ways of bringing in other income from donated books such as selling them online through Music Magpie or similar.

 

Where & When

Bolsover's opening times are:

  • February - October 10-4 pm, 7 days a week
