- Agreed expenses coveredThe Trust for Sustainable Living is a registered charity based near Newbury, Berkshire. At our visitor centre, The Living Rainforest, the animal collection is contained within three tropical glasshouses and consists of more than 60 species. These include callitrichids, toucan and turacos, snakes, chelonia, stingrays, dendrobatids, and invertebrates and more.
**Role and Responsibilities**:
The primary role of the intern will be to learn the daily husbandry and routines of our animal department. This includes feeding animals, maintaining enclosures, daily record keeping, diet preparation and animal health checks.
You will also learn how to train and supervise our existing volunteers and participate in training new volunteers and work experience students.
You will also receive training and participate in keeper talks (which run through holidays) and keeper experiences.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge of the many different aspects of the department such as veterinary treatment, enclosure design and record keeping.
You may also be invited to attend internal meetings. This may include ethics committees and staff team meetings.
Where suitable, there may also be opportunities for research projects to be undertaken.
Our collection contains an unusually broad range of species for a smaller institution and therefore gives any placement holder a wide range of taxa experience.
**Terms of placement**:
- This is a 6-to-10-month voluntary work placement (Shorter periods may be considered) for a registered charity.
