– Administrative tasks such as recording volunteer hours, registering new volunteers on our database, creating ID badges, organising rotas and processing expenses claims.
– Championing the RSPBs annual volunteer engagement survey.
– Supporting the whole Leighton Moss team with volunteer administration and recruitment as necessary.
We’ll ensure you’re provided with an RSPB mobile phone and are set up with access to the RSPB computer network so you can comfortably carry out your role at home.
You’ll be trained in everything you need to know beforehand and we’ll support you in your role every step of the way.
Beneficial skills for this role are:
– Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
– You need to be a great people person, friendly and approachable.
– Excellent telephone manner and written communication skills.
– An ability to lead/inspire others and work as part of a team.

This is a rewarding and enjoyable role. You will be part of a friendly team of staff and volunteers. This is a chance to gain experience in working with people of all ages and to learn new skills and develop existing ones.
You’d be making a real difference by helping us keep the reserves well-supported by volunteers, ensuring they are safe for visitors and well-managed for wildlife.
There is room for development within the role, an opportunity to volunteer for additional days or role-share.
