Volunteering with HAWR
Volunteering with us is rewarding, meaningful and a wonderful way to make a genuine difference for wildlife. You will meet like-minded people, become part of a supportive community, build confidence, learn new skills, take on new challenges and give something important back.
How Does it Work
We have a range of volunteer roles, with something to suit different skills and interests. You do not need to be a wildlife expert, but you must care about wildlife and share HAWR’s commitment to giving every animal the best possible care.
To apply, you must:
- Be aged 18 or over
- Have a driving licence and your own transport, as we are not on a public-transport route
- Commit to one full day each week, on the same regular day
- Be reliable and able to commit to your agreed hours
Our work depends on consistency. Animals need dependable care every day, so reliability is essential.
HAWR has clear, structured ways of working. We will provide training and support, and we ask every volunteer to follow our procedures carefully. This protects the health and wellbeing of our volunteers, staff and most importantly the wildlife in our care.
What is the Recruitment Process?
- Complete an application form.
- We will review your application.
- If successful, you will be invited to an on-the-job interview.
- If successful, you will be offered a volunteering role.
If you are unsuccessful at any stage, we will let you know.
We could not run HAWR without our volunteers, and we are truly grateful for your interest.
