At WWT we shape unforgettable experiences.  At heart we are warm, welcoming and genuine.  In our Waterside Cafe we do this by offering a delicious selection of home cooked food and chilled drinks, served and assisted by our friendly team of staff and volunteers.  

We are looking for volunteers who can support our team in the Waterside Cafe and ensure we offer excellent customer service to our visitors.

• Supporting behind-the-scenes with tasks such as washing up and loading the dishwasher
• Engaging with visitors to the café and helping with any enquiries they may have
• Assisting with recycling
• Refilling counters and displays

Normally one day per week from 11-3pm.  Assistance on weekends and during school holidays especially helpful. We will mutually agree the hours you are able to contribute, and it would be helpful if you could try to give us as much notice as possible on the occasions when you are not able to contribute those hours.

What skills do I need?

•  Good verbal communication skills
• To enjoy working as part of a tea
• Good general fitness as this role involves spending periods of time on your feet and may involve lifting
