We're looking for an enthusiastic Equine Technician to help us deliver outstanding care for our horses and support practical learning experiences for our students. This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same.

What you'll do:

• Provide exceptional day-to-day care and welfare for our horses.
• Prepare workspaces and equipment for practical lessons on the yard.
• Support staff and students during teaching sessions, sharing your technical knowledge and expertise.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and well-organized environment in line with health and safety standards.

What we're looking for:

• A strong commitment to animal welfare and equine husbandry.
• Practical experience working with horses in a professional setting.
• A good understanding of health and safety (training provided in areas such as first aid and fire marshalling).
• A proactive, team-focused attitude and willingness to support learners.

If you love working with horses and want to make a real difference to the next generation of people entering the equine industry, we would love to hear from you.
