Visitors Centres


We are looking for enthusiastic people to help run our visitor centres across the county.  Our centres are open six or seven days a week and volunteers are key to presenting a professional and welcoming front.  Being part of one of our visitor centre teams is rewarding and sociable and it is a role that needs a regular time commitment.

You will need to be prepared to muck in and help with all aspects of running the centre; selling mechandise in our shops; welcoming visitors; recruiting new members; encouraging donations; involving people in joining our events as well as maintenance and cleaning of the building.  We also need assistance behind the scenes with administrative tasks and finance.

"It's such a friendly environment I end up doing a bit of everything, which is just how I like it!"
