Displays and Interpretation Department Volunteer (Six months)
The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT)

Since 1973 CAT has grown in size, ambition and influence to become one of Europe’s most unique discovery centres.

Our visitors are a diverse lot, and so are our methods of delivering messages. They include: technology and gardens, hands-on displays and art, courses and talks, architecture and audio tours.

What’s involved?

Volunteers are an indispensable part of the Display Department. We will ask a lot of you, but you will get back a wealth of experience and satisfaction. Depending on your interests, ability and skills you could be:

• helping to research and write signage,

• working on design software to plan and illustrate our designs,

• using the workshops to construct a range of exhibits,

• working outdoors on construction and landscaping projects.


Why do people volunteer at CAT?

It’s impossible to generalise. We greet volunteers from across the world, both old and young, from diverse careers and straight from school at eighteen. If there is a pattern, it’s the promises that “I’ll be back again”.

And of course:

• You can attend two CAT courses (subject to availability) - free.

• You’ll get an excellent overview of sustainable technology and living.

• We provide a healthy and filling lunch every work day - free.

• CAT is a unique, challenging and enjoyable place to work, located in a dynamic local community and beautiful natural setting.


Interested? See our website or get in touch for more details.

Deadline: open until spaces filled.
