Brooklands Zoo volunteers team

Want to join the volunteer team?

• Are you physically fit enough to be on your feet for most of the day while working? (Note: bending and lifting could also be part of the day.)
• Can you be relied on to work independently?
• Are you over 16 years old and would definitely be able to commit to volunteering for a regular shift each week?
• Do you have a flexible, can-do attitude and would you be happy to pick up all those odd jobs that need doing around the zoo?
• Are you an all-weather type person who is not fazed by a set routine each day you come in?
• Do you enjoy talking with people and would be happy to help visitors if they approach you while you are working around the zoo?

If so, then volunteering at the zoo could be just for you! Fill out the volunteer application form and we'll be in touch when a volunteer position becomes available.
