Visitor Engagement Volunteer (Weekdays at Belfast WoW Reserve)

Do you enjoy meeting people and engaging with the public? Here at Belfast WoW we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who can help the coordination, set up and clearing away of our daily activities.

Here at WoW we encourage visitors to enjoy all the wild life at this fresh water reserve. Inspiring people about the natural world is one of the most important things we do. We want to engage as many people as possible about the work of the RSPB, how amazing nature is and how we need to work together to save it.

As a Visitor Engagement Volunteer you will helping out in a range of ways, this will depend on the daily activities but will include:

• Providing a friendly welcome to visitors and members of the public.
• Having conversations with visitors and members of the public, and finding out how you can help them.
• Talking to the public about the work of the RSPB, what we're all about and asking them if they would like to become members if the conversation takes you there.
• Helping deliver events

For this role the most important skill required will be your people skills. We aren't looking for wildlife expertise or knowledge of the RSPB. We are looking for someone who enjoys meeting new people and is a confident communicator. It will help if you have a good attention to detail and are quite organised to help ensure events and activities are carried out safely.

This is a rewarding role which offers the opportunity to attend a wide range of events and to work alongside a friendly team. You will have the opportunity to make new friends and spend time outdoors. You will get to meet loads of new people in this role, enjoying conversation and helping people have a great interaction with the RSPB. There is always the opportunity to learn new things and gain skills through volunteering, by working on a reserve, you'll naturally learn all about the work of the RSPB and how we manage the wildlife on our reserves, work in partnership with others and advocate to governments.
