Volunteers are integral to the running of the beautiful WWT Arundel Wetland Centre, an award-winning site for accessible and inclusive tourism. Our volunteer team are friendly, motivated and hard-working and say they benefit by gaining new experiences, meeting new people and most importantly making a difference by helping maintain important wetland habitat.

Maintaining and developing an award-winning wetland centre requires a lot of practical physical work to keep the centre looking in excellent condition, so we can continue to provide our visitors with a great day out and showcase our work to save wetlands for wildlife and people. In this role you will be mainly based in our purpose-built workshop, providing regular support to the site team undertaking a range of hands on practical carpentry tasks, from boardwalks to buildings and hide repairs.
