There is a volunteering role for you!
Volunteers are at the heart of WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre – without our volunteers we couldn’t do what we do. We have around 150 volunteers in a wide range of roles, from helping to keep our grounds and reserves in tip-top condition, to welcoming visitors as they come to our centres, there’s a volunteer role for everyone!
Here at Martin Mere Wetland Centre, we’re looking for volunteers to join our family so we’re holding a Volunteering Week from 7th – 13th March where you can come and find out what’s here for you and how you can help. You can meet the teams and get behind the scenes to find out more about the variety of roles available here. We’ve got lots of opportunities for our Visitor Services Team, Grounds Team and Education Team.
To volunteer with us, you don’t need any expert knowledge, just a keen interest in people and wildlife, a flexible approach and a ‘can-do’ attitude. In return for donating your time to us, you get free entry to all 9 WWT Wetland Centres, 15% discount in our café and shop, free social events throughout the year and free training.
Volunteering is also a brilliant opportunity to meet new people, share your skills with others and develop new skills – all whilst working in our beautiful wetlands. Dorothy, one of our family activities volunteers has been volunteering for 4 years, “I started volunteering at Martin Mere in July 2018 and to say I’m enjoying myself would be an understatement. I’ve gone from being a boring old woman to someone who feels valued and useful. I’ve met some lovely people and the staff and volunteers are friendly and helpful.
"I’ve had the opportunity to help with a variety of activities and I’ve learned such a lot that I’m positively buzzing when I go home to tell my husband what I’ve been doing. I would definitely recommend volunteering at Martin Mere to anyone, even if you can only spare a few hours.”
Our staff will be available 2- 4pm every day from 7th – 13th March. If you’d like to book a specific time to talk to one of us, please email info.martinmere@wwt.org.uk. For a full list of the opportunities available, click here.
