About the Role
At WWT we believe the best way for people to understand and connect to wetlands is to experience them, so we bring awe-inspiring nature up close and let it do the talking. People feel part of something amazing and are motivated to make a difference. We are looking for friendly, outgoing people who would like to be directly involved in shaping our visitors’ unforgettable experiences through a warm welcome, engaging activities and the provision of information.
You will be directly involved in shaping children’s memorable experiences through the warm welcome you give, your engaging interactions and the information you provide. Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team and will receive full support including training, equipment and other necessary resources.
