Broads volunteers needed for Breydon

A new opportunity has arisen for local people to help look after the remote and wildlife rich areas of Breydon Water and Haddiscoe Island.


The Broads Authority wants to recruit half a dozen volunteers to support its rangers in patrolling the Breydon area both on land and water. They will be involved in patrolling the waterways, carrying out minor maintenance work, mowing and brush cutting, assisting the public, and helping with emergencies, events, educational activities and small conservation projects.

In return for necessary training the Ranger Volunteers will be expected to offer a minimum of two days assistance a month throughout the year. The work will be based at Great Yarmouth Yacht Station, Tar Works Road.

They will be joining an army of 150 highly valued volunteers who help the Broads Authority achieve its goals in maintaining and conserving the Broads.

This opportunity has arisen since the Broads Authority took over the management of Breydon Water and the Lower Bure from Great Yarmouth Port Authority last June. Since then the Authority has begun a programme of work to improve safety for boaters and is carrying out year round patrolling.

The role description and the link to the online application process are available on http://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/authority/volunteer/volunteer-vacancies.

If you would like to speak to a ranger about the role before you apply you can contact the Breydon Rangers -- Steve Williams on 07768 086399 or Kye Rodriguez on 07733 123883.

Applications should be submitted via the Broads Authority volunteer vacancy web page by Friday 1st February. Interviews will be held on Saturday 9th February at the Priory Centre, Priory Plain, Great Yarmouth, NR30 1NW.
