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 fast-improving school. Academy Status brings new opportunities, and 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 in regards to both pupils and animals; the right person would need an understanding of health and safety and farm risk assessments.
