Detailed description
Do you like getting your hands dirty and have good mind for a technical challenge? Fitter volunteers are part of a hands-on team based at the Dockyard, Thorpe maintaining, re-fitting and repairing all plant, vessels and kit which need attention. Experience is not vital but an enthusiasm to learn is. This team is involved in maintaining a large range of assets and as such you can learn a variety of new skills, which could include: assisting with refit work on vessels and equipment, supervised mechanical engineering, boat maintenance/repairs, painting and varnishing trip boats and assisting with breakdowns and moving plant around the Broads.
We are looking for individuals with a reasonable level of fitness who can offer regular commitment, preferably one day a week, but blocks of time could be an alternative, and who can get to the Dockyard, Norwich, by 8am.
Application: Via the Broads Authority's Volunteer Opportunities website page.

About Broads Authority
Volunteering is a great way to make friends, get outside and contribute to the running of the Broads National Park. The Broads began their life as peat diggings which means that due to their human-made nature they're in need of maintenance all year round to benefit the wildlife, boaters, locals and tourists alike.
