Voluntary Reserves Team Assistant, Accommodation Provided
DWT’s vision is for nature to be restored on a grand scale on land and at sea, and for people everywhere to have the opportunity to get close to it, enjoy it and help to protect it. We want to reassemble damaged and fragmented blocks of woodland, meadows and marshes and reconnect the living tissues – the streams, and hedges and waysides – that link them to pockets of wildness in our towns, villages and countryside. DWT nature reserves are pivotal to this.
They are havens for wildlife; protect some of our most precious habitats and rarest species. They provide a reservoir of wildlife that can move around the reconnected landscape. Landowners can learn from best practice trialled on reserves to restore other damaged habitats. And Nature Reserves are for people too – they are a place where visitors can experience nature and hopefully, as a result, support our aims.
As a volunteer on a nature reserve, you will be helping to make this happen. It's a great opportunity to live in a comfortable flat on a DWT reserve, surrounded by nature!

We will hold an interview day on 19th June, which is relaxed, informal and on site. Though a short sit-down interview will be part of it, it is only a part. The day will give you a chance to meet the team, see the accommodation and experience some of the work and give us a chance to get to know one another in a more natural situation. We will let you know if you have been selected for interview on 12th June.
We are looking for 3 new Voluntary Nature Reserves Assistants to start in July. The exact date will depend on the successful applicants' circumstances.
