What can I do?

Volunteers help to bring National Trust places to life and opportunities are varied and flexible. You could volunteer every week or for a shorter period of time, such as for an event or project.

You could help to raise funds via commercial outlets and fundraising, welcome visitors to ensure they make the most of their visit, or be actively involved in conservation work on the estate or inside historic properties.

We look after Compton Castle, Bradley Manor, Coleton Fishacre, Greenway House and 3,000 acres of coast and countryside across the beautiful English Riviera in South Devon.

What to expect when you join

We’ll make sure you are given all the information that you need to feel supported in your role with an induction and training.

We also offer opportunities to relax, get to know each other, connect with teams and enjoy these special places.
