What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for someone with drive, creativity and a passion to join our team and contribute to our school. We are looking for new team member who can add value by delivering ‘quality first’ learning experiences that challenge and engage. We expect you to have a minimum of 2 years full time experience within the animal sector and preferably an accredited animal care qualification. The job is ‘hands-on’ and involves daily cleaning of all the animals, therefore a keen eye for detail is imperative. The farm features a menagerie of animals from hoof stock through to reptiles; so, a base knowledge of a variety of species is crucial. The successful candidate would also have a significant amount of responsibility regarding both pupils and animals; the right person would need an understanding of health and safety and farm risk assessments.
