RSPB Red Kite project in Henley on Thames

We are looking for people with excellent face to face interpersonal skills who are comfortable and confident speaking to members of the public. As long as you're friendly and able to enthuse about the work of the RSPB and have a genuine interest in wildlife and conservation, you're there!

You do not have to be a bird expert as fact sheets will be provided. These events are many people's first encounter with the RSPB and are a perfect platform to tell them about our work.

You may be required to work the occasional weekend.

This is a great opportunity to meet people from a variety of backgrounds (both staff and volunteers!) and inspire them about birds.

You'll be part of a friendly team and we can help you to gain valuable skills, experience and an insight into the work we do - the RSPB is an active and exciting conservation charity, the largest in Europe!

You will also receive the South East volunteer newsletter, Involve, and be invited to volunteer events.

We need volunteers to help at this event with the aim of enthusing and inspiring the public by showing them spectacular red kites.

Your role will involve introducing visitors to view the live nest camera pictures of the birds, teaching them about the history of the kites they are looking at, answering questions, talking about the RSPB and asking them to sign our visitors book. You will also help to set up displays and equipment for the event.

Appropriate training will be provided prior to the start of the event and all out of pocket expenses will be re-imbursed.

Ongoing support will be given by RSPB staff.
