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 volunteering@wwt.org.uk or leave a message at 01453 891 231 with your name and number. 

You are keen to support the work of WWT and have formal or informal experience or understanding of health and safety. This role is administrative and office based, so being confident using Microsoft Office, spreadsheets and/or databases would be important.
