For Companies Location: WWT Castle Espie Wetlands Centre, 78 Ballydrain Rd, Comber, Newtownards BT23 6EA
Salary: This position is entirely voluntary and is therefore unpaid
At WWT we are aiming to inspire the next generation of nature-lovers. We believe the best way of doing this is to foster emotional connections to nature at our sites and where people live.
One of the ways we do this is through our learning programme and, in particular, through Generation Wild, our flagship nature connection project for children and families from disadvantaged communities. In this role you will be engaging our younger visitors by bringing the life-sized puppet ‘Ava’ to life as part of this project. As a puppeteer, you are key to making the experience a truly magical one for the children.
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.
About You
Someone passionate about inspiring children to develop an emotional connection with nature.
Previous puppetry/theatre experience would be beneficial but is in no way essential. This role will suit you if you are reasonably extrovert and have good stamina.
Experience either in an educational setting or in an environment involving children would be an advantage.
This role is only suitable for over 18’s.
About Us
We’re WWT, and we’re on a mission to restore the super-powered ecosystems we call wetlands. There’s never been a more important moment for our work, and we’ve got some phenomenal people on the case.
Whether they’re taking a new visitor under their wing, or conducting ground-breaking research further afield, our team are second to none. And there’s nothing we love more than watching them soar.
Whatever you do here, you’ll be helping to restore wetlands and unlock their power. So, the only question left is, what role will you play?
