Animal Care
Voluntary Student Work Experience
Shaldon Wildlife
Trust
Shaldon Wildlife Trust is an ideal
placement for students and those wishing to develop their skills and
experiences in the conservation sector. As BIAZAs smallest collection we
provide a holistic and thorough placement, providing training in a wide range
of modern zoo skills including husbandry, education and research. A voluntary
work placement at Shaldon Wildlife Trust
will provide valuable experience to add to your CV, showing future
employers that you are committed to a career in the conservation sector.
Our Voluntary Student Work Experience
Placement (VSWEP) programme is offered to sandwich year students and recent
graduates undertaking an animal care-based qualification or similar. It offers
students a 9 to 12 month placement, gaining valuable experience within the zoo
sector and an opportunity to carry out a research project. Previous students
have conducted studies into the behaviour of many of our animals, which
benefits the quality of care the animals receive as well as providing valuable
scientific data.
We accept applications throughout the
year. We ask that you send a covering letter of no more than one side of A4,
explaining your reasons for applying, naming any relevant experience and why
you think you would be suited to this role, along with a CV. If you are
interested in a placement, please email the Head Keeper Carly Murray at
carly@shaldonwildlifetrust.org.uk
