We are always looking to connect with a wide variety of people who are passionate about renewables.
VOLUNTEERING
Westmill Tour Guides
Thousands and thousands of people have visited Westmill since the Wind Farm was erected in 2008. All welcomed by our warm and friendly team of volunteer tour guides from a wide variety of backgrounds, all with a passion for sustainable energy and a low-carbon future.
We are always looking for new, enthusiastic individuals to help us inform, educate and enlighten people about clean, green community energy and the truly positive impact that the creation of sustainable, renewable energy has on the planet.
As a WeSET tour guide you will lead groups of people around the Westmill site telling the story of how the Westmill Wind Farm & Solar Park was created, conveying the importance of renewable energy, describing how our turbines were installed and how they operate, and detailing the installation and energy generation of over twenty thousand solar panels. On some occasions, you will be working alone in welcoming and leading groups at Westmill, and on other occasions you may be working alongside other guides. You may also prefer to work as ‘guide support’ which is another volunteering role available that provides practical help to our guides during the tours.Experience of work in a public-facing role such as a tour guide, presenter, teacher or similar would be useful, but is not essential as you will receive training from one of our existing guides, with continuing, ongoing support from the WeSET Visits Coordinator.
If you have a happy, friendly demeanour, with a genuine passion for sustainability, then this could be a great opportunity to share that passion and meet other like-minded people at the same time! To show interest, or to find out more, please contact us.
