Project Description

What you will be doing

• It will entirely depend on the specific volunteer placement, but generally your work will involve a variety of tasks. Volunteer placements are designed to support specific reserves or projects or functional teams. Some have a practical focus which involve surveying and practical conservation and maintenance; some are focused on people engagement and advocating for nature conservation; others revolve around communication and creativity. Whatever it is, you will have the opportunity to take on multiple pieces of work in order to give you a broad range of experience and opportunities to learn.

The skills you need

• The aim of our volunteer placements is to help build skills and to help people gain the experience necessary to help take steps towards a career, primarily in conservation. We are looking for individuals who are interested in saving nature and with the energy to learn. We are not looking for experts in conservation, or even people with lots of experience, if you are new to the sector, changing careers or looking for a new challenge, this could be for you.
• Some desirable skills include:
• Basic IT skills
• Experience spending time outdoors in nature
• Good communication skills
• Planning and organisational skills
