Port Stephens Council seeking volunteer 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," Port Stephens Council's holiday park section manager, Kim Latham, said of the volunteer positions.

"While customer service experience is a plus, volunteers will receive all the training required and will typically do a three hour shift per week. 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."

Applications close at 11.59pm Sunday, October 17. For more information and to apply visit portstephens.nsw.gov.au/koalasanctuary.
