New land-based volunteers needed
We are looking for some new people to join our team of shore-based volunteers, helping to run Electra and her cruises. We would especially like someone to:
- – Help run our new Welcome Centre;
- – Help with our outreach/community engagement programme
- – Help with promoting Electra
- – Organise and provision our stock of food and drinks for Electra’s varied cruises
- – We also have some other vital shore roles, some of which are in the tab below.
New boat crew needed
We’re also looking for Cabin Hosts, who greet guests and provide them with information and catering while cruising. (This does not involve cooking!) We’re also looking for experienced helms to skipper our electric narrowboat. The recruitment windows are as follows:
- – Cabin Hosts: interviews in May 2025 for training in June/July, or January 2026 for training in March/April
- – Skippers: interviews in September/October 2025 for training January – April 2026
