Coventry, United Kingdom Warwickshire Wildlife Trust Full time

Job Advert

**Introduction**

Warwickshire Wildlife Trust (WWT) is one of the 46 UK Wildlife Trusts. Established in 1970 we are a grass roots organisation governed by 14 trustees elected from a membership of 25,000 people, 99% of whom live in the county, and supported by 700 active volunteers. We manage an estate covering 1,000 hectares in Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull and no one living or working in that area is more than 6 miles from one of our 67 nature reserves.

As members of the influential network of Wildlife Trusts, we are part of a collective covering the whole of the UK with 870,000 members, 32,500 volunteers, 2,500 staff and 600 trustees, all working together through a central unit, the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (TWT). Together we are on a mission to restore a third of the UK’s land and seas for nature by 2030. We believe everyone, everywhere, should have access to nature and the joy and health benefits it brings. Each Wildlife Trust is an independent charity formed by people getting together to make a positive difference for wildlife, climate and future generations. Together we care for 2,300 diverse and beautiful nature reserves and work with others to manage their land for nature, too.

WWT is embarking on an ambitious new ten-year strategy. By 2030 we want to have put wildlife into recovery by creating more space for nature with more people on nature’s side.

In order to deliver our ambitions for nature and people, we need to engage at least 1in4 people and inspire them to act for nature. Our Visitor Centres, including our cafes, are key touch points for public engagement and will be an important mechanism for delivering our ambition of more people on nature’s side.

Warwickshire Wildlife Trust are looking for Catering Assistants to support the very successful Brandon Marsh Visitors Centre. They will be responsible for serving and preparing food and drinks to customers of the Centre and greeting them with a professional and friendly service.

If you have a passion for delivering excellent customer service and ensuring guests and visitors have the best possible experience, then we would love to hear from you.
