Would you like to volunteer as an Assistant Lock Keeper on the River Thames? The Environment Agency would love to hear from you.
The Environment Agency seek volunteers to help staff on the River Thames. Could this be YOU?
The Environment Agency are responsible for 45 lock sites on the river, which are used by boaters throughout the year. During the summer months there’s an increase in boat traffic as more people enjoy all the Thames has to offer.
What will your volunteering involve?
As a River Thames Volunteer Assistant Lock Keeper, you will help with the safe passage of boats through our locks.
Working with an experienced Lock and Weir Keeper, you will help in the day-to-day management of a lock site and give information, guidance and advice to river users as they pass through.
If you’re successful in your application to become a volunteer, you’ll get full training and uniform.
