Join the Canal & River Trust today by becoming a Waterway Ranger. This is a great opportunity to make a significant difference to the lives of canal users.
This role provides a fantastic opportunity to learn more about canals and what is involved in maintaining them.
Why we want you
As a Waterway Ranger, you'll be the face, eyes, and ears of the Trust. Having a friendly, regular presence on the towpath is important for visitors and supporters and helps us care for and sustain our network for future generations. We need your support to be there for our customers. You'll assist with visitor experience at some of our most beautiful sites and may work in more remote and niche environments, learning more about our waterways. Your support in maintaining our network will help us achieve our goal of keeping canals alive.
What you will be doing
1. Talking to customers
2. Reporting issues from the towpath
3. Helping customers
4. When you register as a volunteer, we will ask about any unspent convictions which you need to declare and assess the risk accordingly.
The skills you need
1. Great communication skills — this role involves talking to people.
2. Practical skills — including minor maintenance to ensure locks are functional.
3. Teamworking skills — while you may spend some time alone, you are fundamentally part of a team.
What's in it for you
* It's a great way to meet other local volunteers, learn new skills, and hear about other volunteering opportunities if you wish to get more involved.
