Volunteering

Leading a walk

Dear Visitor

The Ramblers' Association (The Ramblers) relies on volunteers for much of its work.

The good news is that working as a volunteer is fun and we are  very flexible.

Ramblers' groups need volunteers to organise their walking and social programmes, to lead walks and sometimes to take part in working parties clearing footpaths.

The Area needs officers to administer its operations and to lobby the County Council and other Highway Authorities on Rights of Way matters. We also have a network of volunteers who monitor the 4,500 miles of rights of way in our Area.

Situation Vacant

The most important vacancy at present is that of Public Rights of Way Manager - a key member of the Area Management Team responsible for managing the work of all the Ramblers' volunteer footpath workers in Kent.  This is a challenging but satisfying role offering the opportunity to make a huge difference to the quality of the footpath network in Kent.  Please email us for further information if you think you might be interested or ring Neville Machin - see below.

You can see a list of current vacancies for Parish Footpath Wardens and Local Footpath Officers here.  Please have a look and consider whether you could spare some time, however little, to keep an eye on the footpaths near where you live.

Volunteers can work occasionally or regularly and can choose the amount of time they give. All of our jobs can be shared and divided according to the time you may have available and whatever your skills and interests - practical, IT, clerical, administrative etc.  If you would like to see an example of the various volunteer descriptions we are looking for, please click here.

If you think you may be interested in volunteering please telephone Neville Machin the Area Chairman on 01322 864277 to discuss the possibilities or email  us.

Too Busy to Help?

We entirely understand.  Our many volunteers will continue to beaver away on your behalf.  Please support them by joining the Ramblers if you have not already done so.
