Volunteer Officers

We offer Volunteer Officer posts for people looking for a career in wildlife conservation, or in outdoor education and community work.

These placements are for 6-9 months, usually 3 days a week. We provide training, both formal and informal, to give you career experience in the environment sector. We also provide interview training at the end of your placement.

In 2012 Lauren Stonebridge worked as a Volunteer Education Assistant.

"Volunteering with the Great Fen is a fantastic opportunity which I would recommend to anyone.  The whole team are a lovely group of people and are always there to help and teach you new things, and just to be involved in a project as important as this one has been a privilege! It’s not often that you get to work in an environment as special as this one and any chance that you get to be involved with the Great Fen, grab with both hands, you won’t regret it!!"

You can read more about Lauren's experience here.

These posts come up once or twice a year and are always advertised on the News pages.
