Volunteers wanted: Become a Koala Sanctuary Ambassador

Koala-lovers are being sought to become Koala Sanctuary Ambassadors in Port Stephens.

Council’s Holiday Park Section Manager Cameron Donaldson says it’s an exciting opportunity for people with a passion for koalas, the environment and providing an excellent customer experience.

“We’re looking for volunteers to become Koala Sanctuary Ambassadors.

“Our friendly Ambassadors will help make our guest experience even more memorable by providing a warm welcome, delivering our Koala Experience tours and lending a helping hand to our guests.

“While customer service experience is a plus, volunteers will receive all the training required and will typically do a 3 hour shift when available. Shifts are available during the week or on the weekend, so it’s flexible for those who have work, study or have other commitments.

“It’s quite an active role, so there will be plenty of opportunity to see the park and get to know the koalas as you show guests around.

“There are plenty of benefits too — our volunteers will gain new skills, knowledge and experience as well as a sense of satisfaction from doing something for their community and the future of our koala population,” Mr Donaldson said.

Applications close 11:59pm Sunday 8 December 2024.
