About The Role

We are looking for friendly, outgoing people who would like to be directly involved in shaping our visitors’ unforgettable experiences through a warm welcome, interacting with them through engaging activities and providing information.
 
Within this role you will get the opportunity to contribute to a variety of fun activities for children and families during the weekend or school holidays. Help with anything from pond dipping and bug hunts to story telling and historical re-enactments. If these activities sound like something you could help with running and if you have an interest in inspiring children in nature, this could be the role for you!
 
Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team. You'll get a warm welcome, including information on training, equipment and anything else you need. 
 
If you are interested in volunteering for WWT but don't wish to apply online, please email [email protected] or leave a message at 01453 891 231 with your name and number. 
 
 
 

About You

No previous experience is required as training will be provided in all areas. However this role will suit you if you have a love of wildlife and the outdoors and are:
• Able to work in a team of staff and volunteers.
• Experience in a customer related role would be advantageous.
• Able to communicate well to a diverse range of audiences but more so with families with younger children.
• Familiar with Castle Espie Wetland Centre.
 

About Us

We’re WWT, and we’re on a mission to restore the super-powered ecosystems we call wetlands. There’s never been a more important moment for our work, and we’ve got some phenomenal people on the case.

Whether they’re taking a new visitor under their wing, or conducting ground-breaking research further afield, our team are second to none. And there’s nothing we love more than watching them soar.

Whatever you do here, you’ll be helping to restore wetlands and unlock their power. So, the only question left is, what role will you play?

Why you'll love volunteering at WWT
  • Feel good knowing you are helping to restore wetlands, and our world
  • Be surrounded and inspired by like-minded wetland lovers
  • Hear from the people who inject their energy, passion and expertise into wetlands and wildlife - talks, walks, webinars, tea and cake...
  • Free entry to all our wetland centres, including your family
  • Volunteer discount on shopping and memberships
  • Access to webinars and practical information to help you manage daily life
