A Date With Nature Recruitment Volunteer - Leeds Castle

Leeds Castle

Why we want you

We need volunteers to help at this event with the aim of enthusing and inspiring the public by showing them brilliant birds and asking them to support the RSPB by joining as members. Recruiting non-members of the RSPB is crucial to the work we are trying to achieve.
Your role will involve answering questions, talking about the RSPB and explaining the importance of joining and the benefits of membership.

What’s in it for you?

This is a great opportunity to meet people, inspire them about birds and assist the work of the RSPB.
You'll be part of a small friendly team and we can help you gain skills, experience and a valuable insight into the work we do -the RSPB is an active and exciting conservation charity, the largest in Europe!
You will also receive the South East volunteer newsletter, Involve, and be invited to volunteer events.

The skills you need

We are looking for volunteers with the skills to recruit new members with the aim of supporting more of the RSPB's conservation work. You must have excellent face to face interpersonal skills and be comfortable and confident speaking to members of the public. A friendly approach and the ability to enthuse about the work of the RSPB is important as well as having a genuine interest in birds, wildlife and conservation.
You do not have to be a bird expert. ABB events are many people's first encounter with the RSPB and are a perfect platform to tell them about our work.
You may be required to work the occasional weekend.

Your time

Minimum commitment: Ideally one day per week, but flexible
Duration: 2 x 1 month spells
Period: March/April and August/September

The RSPB speaks out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten our environment. We rely upon memberships and donations to fund our work. By volunteering your time and skills, you could make a real difference to the work of the RSPB. Nature is amazing - help us keep it that way.
