Become a Wildlife Carer
Being a wildlife carer is a deeply rewarding experience. It’s a significant commitment that involves opening your heart and home to an animal in need and providing the specialised care they require. All our carers undergo comprehensive training and receive ongoing support from our experienced team. If you are passionate about wildlife and ready to make a long-term commitment, we would love to hear from you.
Requirements: Carers must have a suitable, secure space for the animal, be available to attend training, and be able to provide the daily care required for rehabilitation.
Training: Our training courses covers everything from basic first aid and feeding protocols to species-specific care.
Commitment: The time commitment varies depending on the animals in your care, but it is a consistent, daily effort.
