Vaccinations, weights, farriery, worming and dental details are updated before the animals then join the resident herds at our farms and Donkey Assisted Therapy Centres.

- Experience of working with risk assessments in relation to safe working practices.
- Physical fitness and the ability to lift, for example, a bag of feed (approx. 20 kg).
- Willing to work outside in adverse weather conditions.

**About the role**:
Your principal duties and responsibilities will include
- Providing care by routine observation, feeding, medicating, grooming, weighing and worming the donkeys, mules, ponies and hinnies.
- Assisting with New Arrivals routines such as farriery, dentals, veterinary examinations and vaccinations.
- Providing care for donkeys with special, additional and behavioural needs and requirements.
- Mucking out, feeding and bedding up of barns and stables and distributing hay, haylage and bagged feedstuffs.
- Ordering, preparing and administering medications under veterinary advice.
- Maintaining a safe working environment.
- Providing feedback on a daily basis to the New Arrivals Manager on matters such as donkey health and feeding regimes and maintain up to date records for all equines within the unit.

**The contract**:
Based at the New Arrivals Unit at Strete, near Whimple, East Devon - an area of outstanding natural beauty - this is a part-time, permanent contract starting as soon as possible, working 22.5 hours per week, Tuesday-Thursday, plus weekend working as part of the team rota.
