At WWT, we believe the best way for people to understand and connect to wetlands is to experience them, so we bring awe-inspiring nature up close. We use resources creatively to maximum effect, working against the odds. With our adventurous nature comes a deep sense of fun.
As a Craft Champion, you will be the main point of contact with families to assist them in undertaking seasonal crafts. You will ensure the family has all the items they need to safely undertake each activity, providing assistance if required. You will have the support of the Learning team to undertake these sessions, and we have plenty of craft materials for you to work with.
Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team. You'll get a warm welcome, including information on training, equipment, and anything else you need.
