Practical Conservation Leaders
If you don’t already have a project in mind that you would like to deliver, we have a few ideas mapped out that you can work with Debs on to plan and deliver. We have a number of volunteers waiting to get involved, so hands on help is ready to go…
Here for you
As a Key Volunteer you will:
- be guided by a Volunteer Manager
- have a clear role description, and
- be supported by the Wild Ideas team.
You will receive management and personal development reviews as part of your agreed supervision. We will also look to support your role with external training courses, in addition to in-role learning, where appropriate.
It is our mission to ensure that your role is enjoyable and relevant to you. We will work hard to ensure that you gain the experience and skills which will support you in achieving this. Your volunteer manager will help you to plan your development and create the perfect volunteering route for you.
Some technical stuff:
Email:
We provide our key volunteers with a Wild Ideas email account, in order to be able to maintain a professional image and support our volunteers to keep their role and their personal life separate. It is very important for your well-being that you are able to ‘switch off’ from working.
