Applications
are sought from suitable individuals to fill the role of Regional Veterinary
Programme Manager with Free the Bears in Southeast Asia. The work of Free the
Bears is currently centred on three focal countries where we have created the
Cambodia Bear Sanctuary (in Cambodia), Tat Kuang Si Bear Rescue Centre and
Luang Prabang Wildlife Sanctuary, in Laos, and Cat Tien Bear Sanctuary in
Vietnam. Currently, across these sanctuaries we provide life-long care to 250
bears, in addition to a variety of other rescued wildlife species in Laos.
The primary
role of the Regional Veterinary Programme Manager is to oversee the growth and
development of the Veterinary Programme to ensure the provision of optimal
veterinary care for all animals within Free the Bears-supported facilities.
This will be achieved through advancing the skill set of local teams while
developing the programme’s capacity in preventative medicine, diagnostics, and
disease surveillance. The role includes providing management and oversight of veterinary
teams and veterinary volunteers in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, with regular
travel to ensure consistency across the three country programmes.
Given the
nature of our work, which is often unpredictable due to rescues occurring often
at short notice, a high degree of flexibility and excellent time management
skills are required.
Essential
Experience:
- Qualified veterinarian
- At least 3 - 5 years’ clinical
experience
- Excellent clinical skills
- Highly motivated, hardworking,
and compassionate
- Excellent attention to detail
- Strong organization, management
and leadership skills
- Awareness and respect for
cultural values in a diverse team setting
- Excellent command of written and
spoken English language
- Effective contribution to
building and leading a positive team environment
- Demonstrated ability to take
initiative and work autonomously, assess tasks and set priorities
- Flexibility and the ability to
cope with changes in work priorities at short notice
- Ability to work weekends and
public holidays as required
