Husbandry Volunteers

We are looking for Husbandry Volunteers to assist in the Hospital and Rehabilitation Enclosures doing animal husbandry one day a week - on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays only, 9am to 5pm on a regular basis, for a minimum of 6 months.

Husbandry work involves cleaning cages and enclosures in our very busy Hospital; providing food for the animals; along with cleaning, tidying and seasonal enclosure maintenance across the rest of the Hospital areas - working inside and outside, in all weathers.

Volunteers must be over 18 with current tetanus cover and be able to provide two employment-based referees. You will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check, as we work with young people and vulnerable adults. Volunteers are also required to undertake free online safeguarding training.

If this role is of interest to you, please send in your completed application today.

Volunteer Fosterers for Orphaned Juvenile Mammals

Baby season runs from roughly April to October time, so we are looking to recruit and train people who will be available across the whole baby season.
