What will be involved:
- Cleaning cages, hutches, aviaries
- Feeding animals
- General cleaning of the areas including laundry, mopping, litter trays and dishes
- Providing enrichment and socialisation for our animals
As a small animals volunteer you will:
- Have a love for animals
- Be 16 years or older
- Be able to follow instructions

An onsite induction and hands-on training will be provided to successful applicants, and ongoing opportunities to learn more about the care of our small animals will be made available,
We have morning and afternoon shifts available, seven days a week and a flexible rostering system that we can work in with your schedule. We ask that you can commit to at least three shifts per month (but the more the merrier!)
