Our Volunteering Team will try to match your interests and skills to the roles available. If a suitable role is available, we will contact you to tell you what opportunities we have and to offer you a voluntary placement.
If no suitable role is immediately available, we will store your details, confidentially, for up to six months. We may contact you and suggest alternative voluntary placements - either with Natural England or with other conservation organisations.
If you become a volunteer with Natural England you will receive:
- information on your voluntary role and how it contributes to our work
- induction training into the regional office and to your role
- information on health, safety and welfare
- an identity card for use during your voluntary role
- any protective clothing or equipment required for your role (on loan)
- copies of newsletters, leaflets, publications or handbooks that may be of interest.
You will also be:
- entitled to claim for agreed out-of-pocket expenses
- part of a team of paid staff and other volunteers.
We ask all our volunteers to:
- be committed to volunteering healthily and safely
- respect confidentiality
- comply with the Natural England's policies on Equal Opportunities.
