    Description

    A farm animal sanctuary and educational project. For the last 15 years we have been rescuing many animals, mainly farm animals, to heal them and care for them for the rest of their lives. At the moment the sanctuary has approximately 300 rescued animals. Pigs, cows, donkeys, horses, goats, sheep .... and many more.
    We have a team of volunteers who help to ensure that the facilities and conditions of the animals are correct.

    In addition, for the last 10 years we have been working on an educational project specialising in educating children in respect and love for animals, nature and all forms of life. In the school there are children from 6 months to 6 years old. Our mission is to accompany them in the learning process in a respectful way and with presence in their personal, emotional and educational development.
    We need an English-speaking teacher who can take charge of the English classes included in the school curriculum and, in addition, who can interact with the children in their native language during the rest of their collaboration hours, so that they can motivate them.

    We would love the children to be able to practice English in their everyday life, and with your help, we can propose other types of activities or excursions outside of school hours. For example, you can help in making recreational or support proposals to the rest of the school's educational team.
    The hours would be from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.
    We establish a trial period of 1 month and we need to cover a minimum stay of 3 months, which allows continuity for the students and the programming of the school year.

    Come and meet us in your own car or van. We will provide you with enough space within the sanctuary facilities. We will also provide you with a light and water point, access to the kitchen area and the volunteers' communal dining room.

    We also have a large caravan with two rooms with doors, toilet, kitchen, sofa area. Covered outdoor area. It is located on our farm with views of the animals. Very close to the sea.


    Un Santuario de animales de granja y un proyecto educativo. Desde hace 15 años rescatamos muchos animales, básicamente de granja, para sanarlos y cuidarlos por el resto de sus vidas. En estos momentos el santuario cuenta con aproximadamente 300 animales rescatados. Cerdos, vacas, burros, caballos, cabras, ovejas…. y muchos más.
    Tenemos un equipo de voluntari@s que ayuda a que las instalaciones y condiciones de l@s animales sean las correctas.

    Además, des de hace 10 años trabajamos en un proyecto educativo especializado en educar a niñas y niños en el respeto y el amor hacia los animales, la naturaleza y toda forma de vida. En la escuela hay niñ@s entre los 6 meses hasta los 10 años. Nuestra misión, es acompañarlos el proceso de aprendizaje de una manera respetuosa y con presencia en su desarrollo personal, emocional y educativo.
    Necesitamos un profesor/a de habla inglesa que pueda hacerse cargo de las clases de inglés que marca el curriculum escolar y además, que el resto de sus horas de colaboración pueda relacionarse con los niños y niñas en su idioma natal, de manera que pueda motivarlos a practicar inglés desde lo cotidiano y pueda plantear otro tipo de actividades o dinámicas fuera de las horas lectivas. Por ejemplo, haciendo propuestas lúdicas o de soporte al resto del equipo educativo de la escuela.
    El horario seria de 9:30 a 13:30h de lunes a viernes.
    Establecemos un periodo de prueba de 1 mes y necesitamos cubrir una estancia mínima de 3 meses, que permita dar continuidad al alumnado y a la programación del curso escolar.

    Ven a conocernos en tu propia autocarava o furgoneta. Te facilitaremos espacio suficiente dentro de las instalaciones del santuario. Tambiém te ofreceremos un punto de luz y de agua, acceso a la zona de cocina y al comedor comunitario de voluntarios.
    Además, disponemos de una gran caravana con dos habitaciones con puerta, wc, cocina, zona de sofás. Zona exterior cubierta. Está ubicada en nuestra finca con vistas a los animales. Muy cerca del mar.
