Description: Our programmes vary and are tailored for volunteers depending on your stage of experience, budget and the species with which you want to work. We are acutely focused on ensuring we go about delivering volunteer expectations, whilst making sure no feral animals are exposed to any increased risk of being treated by less experienced colleagues. The key to our success is making sure volunteers can gain the necessary experience in a safe and supervised way. Our maximum ratio of one experienced vet to two new graduates/students is a standard policy with often one to one tuition being delivered. All our vets are highly trained and skilled professionals, registered with the RCVS and have a minimum of five years clinical experience.
