Role description:
The RSPB is the UK's largest conservation charity. Local groups are our voice in the community and help to engage people with nature, raise funds for our work and have a lot of fun enjoying and learning about wildlife.
Our York local group is active and very friendly. We host regular talks on wildlife and conservation, have outings to nature reserves, engage the public through events like our Minster Peregrine watch and work with a team of student ambassadors at York University.
We are looking for a new group leader to help co-ordinate these activities. We'd like someone who is interested in nature and conservation, but you don't have to be a bird expert. This role is about using your skills to help in the running of the group and keep its work going. It's also a great chance to meet new people and learn about nature and our work.
Skills and behaviours needed for the role:
Training is provided and you will have the support of a friendly and experienced volunteer team as well as from RSPB staff.
If you are a 'people person' with good organisational skills who would like to do their bit for nature in the York area, then we would love to hear from you.
