Videographer Volunteer

We’re WWT, the charity for wetlands and wildlife. We’re on a mission to restore wetlands because they are a wondrous solution to our world's problems. Together we will unlock their power – and help nature burst back to life. Because when wetlands flourish, all life will flourish.

As a volunteer videographer at our wetland centre, you will play a vital role in helping us to inspire our visitors to connect with wetlands and wildlife. In this role you will be visiting WWT Martin Mere weekly or every two weeks to capture wildlife spectacles, species, visitors’ experiences and our volunteers for inclusion in promotional material online and for short-form video content across social media.

What will you be doing?

• Capturing videos of the centre, its wildlife, wetland landscapes, events and people (depending on skill level).
• Receiving direction from the centre Marketing Officer and HQ content team as well as taking videos whenever you find an opportunity.
• Working proactively with staff and volunteers at your local centre to capture key events and wildlife sightings that would make engaging content for website, marketing materials, social media etc.

• Have use of your own video equipment
• Are proactive in seeking out creative content opportunities
• Are patient and willing to spend time waiting for the right video opportunities
