Carisbrooke Meet & Greet Volunteer

Find an opportunity > Carisbrooke Castle Meet & Greet Volunteer

Carisbrooke Castle plays an integral role in both the history of the Isle of Wight and the wider country. Home to Isabelle de Fortibus, Sir George Carey, Princess Beatrice and prison to Charles I, it is steeped in English history. In its time, the castle has been a symbol of political power, a fortress protecting England against invasion, a prison and a home.

Where and When?

  • Carisbrooke Castle, Castle Hill, Newport, Isle of Wight, PO30 1XY
  • Full day session 9:30am-4pm with a lunch break or shorter session of 9:30am-1pm or 12:30pm- 4pm.

    Sessions available all year round but times may vary. We especially need help during our peak times such as Event days and Banks Holidays. We are flexible and happy to discuss any requirements at the interview stage.

Who we are looking for?

We are looking for confident, effective communicators and team players, who have a positive attitude to working with visitors to enhance their visit.  Volunteers in this role will have to stand for long periods outdoors. A folding chair is available, and the visitors centre is close by.
