All volunteers are given full training to become involved in delivering educational activities at Skelton Grange Environment Centre for schoolchildren, and have the opportunity to get involved in all areas of our work.

Recruitment is via an application form and interview - full details of how to apply will be available on this page when recruitment is open.

BTCV is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. References for shortlisted applicants will be followed up prior to interview, and an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check will be carried out before volunteering opportunities begin. Only relevant convictions will be taken into account, and the process will be strictly confidential. A comprehensive induction process will include training in how to work safely and appropriately with vulnerable groups.
Other v volunteering opportunity schemes are also available at the other National Grid Environmental Education Centres - click here to find their contact details.
