Toad Hall Animal Care Volunteer

At WWT, we believe that the best way for people to understand and connect to wetlands is to experience them, so we bring awe-inspiring nature up close. In this role, you will be helping with the care and welfare of animals in our Ectotherms “Toad Hall” exhibit, playing a vital role in conservation education.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience of animal husbandry and uphold outstanding standards of care for our amphibian collection species. You will undertake daily husbandry routines such as preparing food & feeding animals, cleaning & maintenance of equipment and facilities, and assisting in observational behaviour recording.

As part of your role, you will be engaging with the public through interactive presentations to help them understand more about our species, the conservation threats facing them, and to inspire visitors to value and support wetland conservation.

Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team, and we wouldn’t be able to maintain our internationally important wetland sites without their help. You will receive a very warm welcome, full induction & training, and be provided with any necessary equipment, uniforms, and anything else needed to thrive in your role.
