Waterside Leader (Wellbeing Walk Leader, Manchester)

Join our team and become a Waterside Leader to help facilitate exciting opportunities on our canals in Manchester city centre. We are looking for keen and enthusiastic people who are able to host guided walks. You’ll help thousands of people to enjoy the network like never before and in turn will help to achieve our goals of keeping canals alive.

Walking in the great outdoors can make you feel better both physically and mentally. Our 2,000 miles of canal towpaths provide largely flat, traffic-free walking routes, taking you from the inner city right into the heart of the countryside.

Our aim is to give people the confidence to get out walking and enjoying the outdoors in a safe way and help people be healthier. To do this we need people to share their enthusiasm for the benefits of walking with others in their community by leading walks in your local area.

You'll work with the Task Manager, Walk Assistants and other Walk Leaders in your area to deliver a range of accessible walks that enable people to bring activity into their lives and feel then benefits. We want everyone to have access to a short, friendly group walks within easy reach of Canal & River Trust waterways where they live to help them become and stay healthy

This is a perfect opportunity for those with a keen interest in the waterways, or someone who is looking to build their skills as a leader. Find out more about what opportunities await you as Waterside Leader by applying today.
