We are looking for new experiences, the opportunity to learn new things, and to use our skills and knowledge to help workaway hosts. We want to push our boundaries, challenge ourselves, and have fun along the way.
Catherine is a qualified dog training with behaviour advisor with a focus on positive reinforcement techniques. She has many years experience of working and volunteering in dog rescue centres before completing a range of qualifications and achieving the dream of becoming a self-employed dog trainer. It really is a dream job.
Rob is a Risk and Process Safety Scientist, focusing on the assessment of major accident hazards. He has undergraduate degrees in Business, and Physics, as well as a Masters degree in Space Science and Technology. He seeks to give time to others and has spent time volunteering with a national science museum, with the National Health Service, and as a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths ambassador. He also mentors students that are seeking to start a career in science.
We are looking for workaways where we can work with dogs, or almost any animals for that matter, work on the land, and provide support to workaway hosts.Interests
