Volunteer opportunity
WWT Castle Espie is situated on Strangford Lough and has the largest collection of native and exotic birds in Northern Ireland. Previous volunteers have gone on to work in animal conservation work around the world.
WWT Castle Espie are seeking people who have the practical experience and are physically able to carry out the required tasks and activities as listed above. This role requires the ability to garden proactively, unsupervised and using your own initiative within the overall vison for the grounds and sensory garden. While no formal qualifications are required an understanding of horticulture and experience of using a variety of horticultural techniques would be desirable. Working outdoors in all weathers you will be someone who can see a task through from inception to completion. You will also be a good team player and have the confidence to help supervise others. As much of your work will be carried out under the gaze of our visitors, you will also need to have a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and a willingness to engage with members of the public from time to time.
