Ngaio Marsh House & Heritage Trust | Christchurch
Remote | Flexible | Approx. 3 hours per month
Love social media, storytelling and a little murder mystery?
We're looking for a creative, enthusiastic and social media-savvy volunteer to help bring one of Christchurch's most fascinating cultural treasures to a new generation!
Dame Ngaio Marsh was one of the world's greatest crime writers, as well as a celebrated theatre director and artist. Her beautiful Cashmere home is now a heritage house museum, and we want to share her extraordinary story with a wider audience.
That's where you come in!

• Promote our tours, events, fundraising activities and volunteer opportunities.
• Connect with new audiences, particularly younger generations.

You'll have access to a professional photographer for content, or you're welcome to get behind the camera yourself!

An interest in crime fiction, literature, theatre, art, women's history, museums or Christchurch's heritage would be a bonus!
