At our Arundel Wetland Centre, we want to ensure that our visitors receive a warm, friendly welcome to ensure they have a comfortable and enjoyable visit.

We are looking for volunteers who can be a hands-on support for our Café Team, helping to ensure we offer excellent customer service to our visitors.

This role involves:

• Undertaking any training needed to ensure our best practise high standards are kept
• Serving our visitors light meals, snacks and drinks
• Helping keeping our café tables clear, clean and free for use
• Engaging with our visitors, directing them to our seasonal highlights and daily talks
• Supporting behind-the-scenes with tasks such as washing up and sorting deliveries
• Helping ensure food displays are replenished and looking tempting

You’ll also be part of the wider team ensuring that our visitors have a great day to remember: championing WWT in actively engaging our visitors, providing them with information, activities at the site and sharing our stories and latest conservation initiatives.

Skills

This role will suit you if:

• You have a positive, friendly and can-do attitude and are happy to undertake a variety of tasks with our customers in mind to help out.
• It’s a close-working team, however, working under your own initiative and being self-motivated is important.
• A good general knowledge of food safety and hygiene would be helpful, but we’ll give you training and the information needed to confidently undertake tasks.
• Engaging positively with our visitors with the work of WWT is also a key part of this role, and so confidence in speaking with them simply and effectively is also important.
• Good general fitness is needed as this role involves spending periods of time on your feet and may involve some light lifting
