Administrator (RSPB NI Headquarters)

We are looking for volunteers who can support teams and take on administrator tasks as part of an existing team that supports the RSPB operation. By opening up our work to more volunteers in this way, it means we can scale up what we can achieve and do more for nature.

This is a great opportunity to utilise your existing skills and learn new ones, whilst working as part of a small, friendly team.
