Maeldune Heritage Centre - call for volunteers & centre manager
Centre Manager:
The Maeldune Trust CIO is seeking an enthusiastic and dynamic Centre Manager or managers to lead, develop, and grow this much-loved and unique visitor attraction at the heart of Maldon.
We’re looking for someone with the energy, creativity, and commitment to work alongside our Trustees and dedicated volunteers to continue to raise the profile of the Maeldune Heritage Centre — cementing it as the hub of Maldon’s heritage, culture, and arts.
Trustees & Volunteers
We are looking for new trustees to increase our board diversity
We are currently a board of seven trustees, each bringing different skills to the team. We oversee the running of the Maeldune Heritage Centre. We meet approximately six times a year together with the Town Clerk and a town councillor representative.
Becoming a trustee with us will give you a sense of pride in promoting Maldon and its history to local visitors and those from further afield.
If you need further information, please contact the Chairman of the Maeldune Trust chairman.maeldune@gmail.com
