Ambassador Volunteer (Attraction Assistant - Trevor Basin Visitor Centre)

Join the Canal & River Trust as an Ambassador and help to connect more people to our canals. Your role will help to preserve our nation’s history and keep canals alive. You will have the opportunity to support some incredible events, be part of a supportive team network, and gain a new appreciation for our unique environment.

We need your support to help build support from those who have yet to discover our network. As an Ambassador, no one day is the same and you will get the chance to experience a diverse array of volunteer opportunities all across our regions.

The 11 miles World Heritage Site of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal encompass 168 heritage features along the Llangollen Canal from Horseshoe Falls to Chirk Aqueduct. It straddles two counties – Wales and England – and three counties – Wrexham, Denbighshire and Shropshire.

The role involves being on hand to talk to customers in the Trevor Basin Visitor Centre, increasing their understanding of the exhibits and local area as well as enlightening them to the work that the Canal & River Trust carries out and inform them about what, where, when and why of your local waterway. The role also includes cash handling, responding to enquiries, restocking the shop, keeping the shop and museum area clean and some general administration. Full training will be provided, but some knowledge of the local area, customer service experience and a little IT skills would be preferable.

To get the most out of this opportunity we are looking for a minimum commitment of 1 day a week.
