Full job description

About the Role

The Fossil Lab Assistant role offers a rare opportunity to work behind the scenes in the Natural Sciences Museum’s laboratories, supporting the care and preparation of real fossil specimens.

This role is ideal for anyone curious about palaeontology, conservation, museum science, or how fossils are preserved for research and display. You will work alongside museum staff, learning professional techniques while contributing to the long-term care of the collection.

This is a volunteer role, designed to provide experience, learning, and contribution. Volunteers support museum activities but do not replace paid staff or hold employee responsibilities.

What You’ll Be Doing

Under staff guidance and supervision, you may assist with:

Basic fossil preparation tasks
Cleaning and stabilising specimens using appropriate tools
Supporting conservation work following established procedures
Organising lab spaces and materials
Observing and learning professional conservation techniques

Tasks are adapted to experience level, and full instruction is provided.

What You’ll Learn & Gain

This role is especially valuable for building experience relevant to science, museums, conservation, and heritage careers.

You will gain:

Hands-on exposure to fossil care and conservation
Understanding of museum laboratory practices
Experience working with scientific collections
Strong attention-to-detail and manual handling skills
Insight into careers in palaeontology, conservation, and collections care

This role is highly CV-building, particularly for students considering STEM, museum studies, conservation, or heritage pathways.

Time Commitment

Volunteering takes place on Mondays and Tuesdays
A regular commitment is encouraged to allow meaningful learning
We understand school, college, university, and exam pressures

Accessibility & Inclusion

The Natural Sciences Museum is committed to being inclusive.
We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and will make reasonable adjustments wherever possible. Please let us know how we can support you.

Pay: Up to £0.01 per year

Work Location: In person
