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.

As a Trading Support Volunteer, you will actively engage with our visitors and encourage them to support WWT as members. Connecting and inspiring them with stories of our conservation work and the many benefits of membership, you’ll help us secure the essential support we need to continue our ambitious plans for wetland conservation. We are looking for someone who can offer excellent customer service to every one of our visitors. Please see the full role description for further details on expected tasks and time commitment for this role.  

Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team, and we wouldn’t be able to maintain our internationally important wetland sites without their help. You will receive a very warm welcome, full induction & training, and be provided with the necessary equipment, uniform, and anything else needed to thrive in your role. 

About You

No previous experience is required for this role as full training will be provided, and a willingness to learn new skills is more important.

However, this role would suit you if:

  • You have excellent verbal communication skills and good listening skills.
  • You feel confident in interacting with members of the public and are able to adapt your approach to suit your audience.
  • You have experience in using multi-operation tills.
  • You have a positive friendly attitude and commitment to excellent customer service.
  •  You have an interest in, and enthusiasm for, the work of WWT.
  • You can work using your own initiative under the direction of the Trading Manager.
  • You are committed to undertake the relevant training needed for the role.

About Us

About us

We are 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 you’re looking to meet new people, learn new skills or spend time in our wildlife-rich wetlands, there’s a volunteer role for you. Just a few hours spent volunteering can really make a world of difference to our wildlife, and to you.

So, come surround yourself with the wonder of wetlands, and the people who inject their energy and passion into them. Whatever you do here, you’ll be helping to restore wetlands and unlock their power. The only question left is, what role will you play?

Please note that from September 2026, WWT Llanelli will be switching to a seasonal opening hours pattern: https://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/llanelli/changes
