About The Role

At WWT we believe the best way for people to understand and connect to wetlands is for them to experience them first hand, 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.

By providing an excellent visitor experience you will be encouraging our visitors to make the most of their visit to the London Wetland Centre, and to better understand and support our work to save wetlands for both wildlife and people.
 
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.
