Full-time Deputy Equine Lead

2 weeks ago

Guildford, United Kingdom Mane Chance Sanctuary Full time

**About the position**
- This is a live in role with accommodation on site at the Sanctuary. The accommodation consists of a large double room with private en-suite bathroom and a shared kitchen. Parking is available on site. The house is shared by just two members of staff.
- A monthly amount of £300 is charged for all utilities including council tax, broadband, water, electricity and TV Licence - there are no additional charges.

**About the role**
- We are a horse sanctuary with a difference. Whilst we rescue and rehabilitate abused, abandoned and neglected horses and ponies and offer them a security of tenure for life; we also pride ourselves in the work that we then do with the horses within the community.
- This role is much more than just looking after horses. You will become a leading part of our animals’ daily care and rehabilitation. Working with rescued horses is challenging but incredibly rewarding. Our horses have come from various situations including abuse, neglect and abandonment and they bring with them sensitivities and trauma that you will work to repair thus creating relationships based around kindness, trust and patience.
- Our method of equine care (taking into consideration the specific needs of every individual equine) involves calmness and patience with the horses as they have often suffered at the hands of humans, and we rebuild the trust with them slowly and at each one’s pace. This tends to create very strong bonds with the team and the horses become willing, reliable and gentle and importantly, safe to introduce to our visitors. We do not ride our horses at Mane Chance, instead we work with them as individuals on a ground level with non-dominance, mutual respect and we run a bespoke method of horse-care which you will be expected to learn and adopt at all times.
- We also do not rehome our herd, offering them a home for life where they can feel safe and loved. This means that you will build lasting relationships with them and look after their long-term wellbeing, working to give them a quality of life that they deserve.
- You will work with our Equine Lead in being responsible for ensuring the best possible physical and emotional care of our horses - administering medication, treating minor injuries, performing daily health checks and liaising with our professionals - facilitating veterinary, dentist and trimming visits. You will be expected to contribute to the ongoing rehabilitation and enrichment of our horses, input into equine discussions and will lead more junior members of the team as well as volunteers.
- As a deputy to the Equine Lead, you will be expected to take on a leadership role in the Equine Lead's absence, organising the smooth running of the day, ensuring all necessary tasks are completed effectively and completing and circulating the daily report to all staff.
- You will work with our volunteers on a daily basis and lead activities with them, including the daily poo pick, grooming and rehabilitation exercises and you will assist with the development of more junior members of the team.
- You will also be required to contribute to the ongoing maintenance of the site including routine safety checks, fence repairs and small maintenance tasks, assist in preparing the site for events and open days.
- On occasion, you will be required to assist our community team with the sessions that they offer - this might be bringing horses for gentle meet and greet opportunities to those who are not well enough to go into our fields, or leading group walking of horses around the Sanctuary and surrounding bridle paths.
- This is an unusual opportunity to be an influential player in the care of rescued horses whilst contributing to their ongoing rehabilitation of horses. You will also develop and utilise management and leadership skills to become a pivotal role in a thriving equine welfare charity.

**About you**
- You are committed to the welfare of animals. You have confidence working with horses, experience with nervous or challenging equine behaviours and understand the different needs of rescued animals and the approach required to work with them successfully.
- You have great team-working skills and can motivate yourself and others in a working environment. You are organised, can prioritise and delegate tasks, whilst also being flexible to deal with the unexpected that working with animals inevitably brings. You are able to work under instruction but also respectfully lead others and you enjoy contributing to team discussions.
- You are a fit and energetic person - our herds live out in fields and tracks over 80 acres and much of your time is spent out with them in all weathers and by its nature, the role is physically demanding
- You have an interest in natural horsemanship techniques as our horse-care methods are more in line with these than most traditional equine practices, and are prepared to learn, lead and teach our bespoke techniques and policies. You have a de
