Whether you’re looking to meet new people, learn new skills
or spend time in an inspiring environment, there’s a volunteer role for you at Slimbridge Wetland Centre. Just a few hours spent volunteering can make a world of difference.

With nine new inspirational and immersive wildlife experiences and exhibits opening at Slimbridge over the next few years, we’re looking to recruit a number of new volunteers to help support the growth of our visitor attraction. We’ve got lots of new volunteer opportunities both visitor facing and behind the scenes.

Discovery guides reveal the amazing stories of our wildlife, whilst family engagers help young visitors get crafty and creative. You can get stuck in with our outdoor teams and use your green fingers to help keep our grounds and exhibits looking their best, or help our visitors make the most of their day as a welcome host.

You don’t need any expert knowledge to volunteer at Slimbridge, just a keen interest in people and wildlife, a flexible approach and a ‘can-do’ attitude. A detailed induction and full training and support is provided for all new volunteers, and with so many existing volunteers on site, there will always be someone on hand to help.
