    Descrição

    Hello,



    We are a family run wildlife rescue centre in a very rural and beautiful part of Herefordshire. We are only looking for a WorkAwayer that can stay for 1 month or more. Because the work is very complex involving caring for many different species of animals, your English needs to be a reasonable level. If your English is a lower level you may be given simpler jobs to do in order to ensure that mistranslation does not put you or the animals at risk.

    Our home sits next to a nature reserve and lake and is approximately 10 miles from Hereford city centre. It is an active wildlife rescue centre and sanctuary for as many as 70 different species where emergency rescues can be arriving at any time of the day. You will primarily assist in hands-off caring for these animals and are expected to help with feeding, cleaning, and maintenance of enclosures and gardens. On the worse days it can be cold, wet and muddy and the animals still need to be cared for so you have to be fit, self-motivated, very flexible and enthusiastic! There are plenty of support roles to take on in the running of a wildlife rescue centre.

    Normally we have one or two volunteers saying at any time. The place is paradise in terms of natural beauty but best avoided if you are highly social and need the company of other people your age.

    You will be sharing a family home and we expect you to clean and tidy up after yourself, respect our family home and belongings and have a flexible attitude towards sharing chores and working together at meal times. Our home is in a beautiful rural location with lots of walks and wildlife to enjoy and experience in a friendly and laid-back setting.

    Hereford itself is an historical market town with a stunning cathedral and river to enjoy. There is lots to see and do and keep yourself entertained on your days off.

    We are currently only taking people with extensive animal care experience or showing a deep commitment to animal care/natural history or zoological careers.

    Despite this, we will only ask you to participate in care for our animals if you have demonstrated in your first two weeks an aptitude for this type of work.

  • Ajuda

    Ajuda

    There are two main aspects to this help:

    1. You will assist with the wildlife rescue centre in every way. It is physically hard feeding all the wildlife at various times during the day, including building, cleaning and repairing cages and enclosures, managing the waste, general household chores, and helping with cooking and cleaning. You will have to do tasks independently, be self-sufficient and must have initiative, common sense and dedication. Due to the need to return animals to the wild, and due the nature of wild animal care, you will not be able to handle animals except specifically to help them in their rehabilitation or enrichment of their captive life. You will completely surrounded by animals and nature.
