ANIMAL CARER (FULL-TIME)

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Animal Care team and help to care for injured British Wildlife!

Secret World Wildlife Rescue is a registered charity that rescues, rehabilitates and releases Britain’s orphaned, injured and sick wildlife. It is a unique service in the South West which helps over 5,000 casualties every year from its base near Highbridge, Somerset.

This post is offered on a full-time, permanent basis and the successful candidate would join our team of skilled and knowledgeable Animal Carers and also work alongside our dedicated team of volunteers. This is a very exciting time to join the charity as we have begun building work on our new Wildlife Treatment Centre which will add to our range of excellent treatment areas, recovery and special rehabilitation enclosures. Our current facilities include enclosures for foxes and badgers, where they can forage and dig as they would in the wild, water enclosures for the otters and swans, so they can preen and build their natural oils and large aviaries for garden birds and birds of prey – all away from human contact so they have the best chance of reverting to the wild once they are strong enough to be released.
