Supporting Volunteer (Survey Volunteer along the Birmingham Canal)

We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help gather valuable feedback from visitors at along the Birmingham Canal for a short-term project.

Your duties will involve:

• Observing and noting the behaviours and general profile of visitors as they explore the site

• Approaching visitors in a friendly, engaging, and welcoming manner

• Inviting visitors to take part in a short survey, clearly explaining its purpose

• Using a tablet to read out survey questions and accurately record visitor responses

• Thanking visitors for their time and wishing them a pleasant onward journey

• Following guidance on health, safety, and data privacy

• Reporting any issues or feedback to your designated contact at Canal & River Trust

This is a flexible volunteering opportunity that suits people of all ages and backgrounds. It will be taking place for around two weeks in September, so whether you can spare a few hours or more than that, your contribution will make a real difference. You’ll need to be confident using a tablet so you can record responses, but no other previous knowledge or experience is needed. We’ll provide a comprehensive training session before you start, so you’ll be confident and ready to gather feedback.

So, if you enjoy talking to people, we’d love to hear from you!
