Are you interested in helping to save wildlife? We are Swan Lifeline, based on Cuckoo Weir Island in Eton Berkshire, and our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and release sick and injured waterfowl.
We’re dependant on Volunteers to manage our site operation and offer a very rewarding experience where you will learn lots and share amazing experiences as we transform lives. The work includes cleaning indoor and outdoor enclosures, food prep & feeding, site maintenance and assisting with rescues (if you are interested).
We do have a few simple requirements for the on-site team Volunteer role:
· You have a passion for Swans and helping wildlife.
· You make a regular commitment that fits with our shift system (ideally once a week but a minimum of 2 half days a month)
· You can work hard (active physical work), as part of a team.
· You can work independently once fully trained (full training will be given)
· Are over the age of 18 (sadly, our insurance doesn’t cover Minors).
We are also very interested in Volunteers who can offer time at weekends, and people who could do an early evening shift in the months of July & August when we’re especially busy.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
