Requesting work experience/professional visits
Wellcome Collection are currently not offering voluntary placements. This may change with the implementation of the strategy.
For occasional professional experience visits - we can offer 1 hour informal chat, but we can't offer longer period involving different members of staff.
Dear
Thank you for your request. I’m sorry but we are not in a position to offer any voluntary placements at the moment.
CILIP, the Library and Information Association have developed a wide range of Special Interest Groups which you can contact even as a non-member to see if there are further opportunities available elsewhere. CILIP also provide advice on careers and continuing professional development.
Please also take a look at the options available to you within the wider Wellcome Trust, some of these placements include rotations within Wellcome Collection.
Best wishes

You could try The National Archive's 'Find an Archive' tool to find other archives near you that may be able to help - Find an archive | The National Archives.
There are sometimes volunteer opportunities advertised through the Archives and Records Association website - Volunteer in the sector — Archives & Records Association, and the Museum Jobs Desk run by the University of Leicester.
Whilst not a placement, there are opportunities to contribute to Wellcome Collection through our Transcribe Wellcome project, with the aim of eventually transcribing all the accession and collections registration records of the former Wellcome Historical Medical Museum and Library. If you are interested in hearing more, please email [email protected].
