Accreditation Mentor Needed: Waterworks Museum – Hereford

Closing Date: Thursday 31 December 2026

The Waterworks Museum – Hereford is seeking an Accreditation Mentor with a focus on collections management and care. Established in 1974, this small, independent museum is run wholly by a dedicated team of volunteers (awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Services in 2022). It is an Accredited Museum and last returned in 2023. Based at the original pumping station of 1854, the site is owned by benefactors Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW). Volunteers maintain rare steam‑powered working engines dating from the 1850s alongside a wide & growing collection of pumps, engines & artefacts connected with the supply of clean water. The museum attracts around 3,500 visitors each year and runs a highly rated and cost‑free primary Key Stage 1 & 2 curriculum programme during term times, funded by DCWW.
