RSPB Lochwinnoch nature reserve Retail Volunteer

We are looking for volunteers to help in our shops on reserves. Volunteers serve customers, stock shelves and make our shops a friendly place to visit. Profits made from our shops mean that we can continue to protect wildlife.
In order to ensure that visitors have an enjoyable and safe visit, we need a team of volunteers to help everything run smoothly. When people visit our shops, we want them to have a warm welcome and to be able to talk to the team about the products, such as bird food and feeders. We also need to ensure that shelves are stocked, and the retail space is clean and tidy. All this work requires a team of friendly and supportive people to help out. We simply can't run our shops without volunteers. Profits made from our shops mean that we can continue to protect wildlife, so they're an important part of our work.
