Volunteering at Environment Agency

River Thames volunteer assistant lock keepers

We are recruiting volunteers to help our staff on the River Thames.

We are responsible for 45 lock sites on the river, which are used by boaters throughout the year. During the summer months we see an increase in boat traffic as more people enjoy all the Thames has to offer. 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. We will provide full training and uniform to successful applicants.
