We are recruiting at MAVC
Can you answer yes to any of the following?
The Centre’s vision is to tell the stories of the old RAF Metheringham airfield, 106 Squadron RAF, No. 5 Group RAF (part of Bomber Command), and the US 52nd Troop Carrier Wing. We have been open since October 1993 and our mission is to preserve and conserve the buildings and collections forming part of the former RAF Metheringham airfield (operating 1943-1946). There is also an on-site hangar housing a C-47 Dakota aircraft that is restored and maintained by a small team of enthusiasts.
The Centre is not only a popular tourist attraction but also a place of remembrance for families of those who served at RAF Metheringham or with 106 Squadron. We are proud that people are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re sure you'll find volunteering with us a rewarding and enjoyable pastime and somewhere you'll meet with like-minded people.
MAVC is open on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from March to October each year. There are volunteer roles for all adult ages and abilities and full training will be provided. We currently have the following positions available, the Role Descriptions for which can all be found below:
Ongoing volunteer vacancies.

The role of a front of house volunteer is varied and will include training in all aspects of running the visitor centre, including customer service, staffing the onsite shop, guiding visitors, staffing a small cafe, administration, supporting school visits and keeping the centre clean and tidy for visitors.
