Education Assistant

At WWT, we believe that the best way for people to understand and ‘connect’ with wetlands is to experience them, so we bring awe-inspiring nature up close.  You will be directly involved in shaping children’s unforgettable experiences through the warm welcome you give them, your interactions with them and the information that you provide. We need enthusiastic people to help deliver our education programmes to school groups and in doing so ensure that they feel part of something amazing.

What will you be doing?

•      Helping out with school groups as appropriate, bringing their science curriculum to life

•      Engaging pupils in the natural world and helping to foster a love of the outdoors and wetland habitats

•      Interacting with children in a sensitive and responsive manner

 

What's in it for you?

•  You'll be playing a vital role in shaping unforgettable experiences for local school children and groups. We regularly hear the children visiting say, "best school trip ever!"

•  Working as part of a small and friendly team, you will be supported in gaining any essential training for the role

•  You will learn lots of new and transferrable skills. No two days are ever the same!

•  You'll be making a tangible contribution to wetland conservation by inspiring the next generation to care for our planet

 

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.
