Animal Rescue Centre Assistant (ARCA)

About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and committed animal lover to join us as a General Animal Rescue Centre Assistant (ARCA). This is a permanent, full-time position, based on a four-week rolling rota, requiring weekend working. The hours are 8am-5pm with 21 working days in each 28 day pay period.
Applicants should be able to work as part of a team, but also capable of lone working with the support of senior staff.
Duties will involve working with a wide variety of domestic animals, birds, and rescued wildlife: cleaning animal enclosures, handling them confidently and observing any health issues. Whilst it is a physically demanding role, which necessitates lifting and carrying, as well as mixed indoor and outdoor working throughout the year, it is also extremely rewarding to provide comfort and a safe haven for the animals in our care.
Due to our rural location in Hadlow Down, Near Uckfield, East Sussex, you will need to be a driver and have your own transport.
Please send your CV together with a covering letter/summary of any previous related experience which you feel may be beneficial, although full training will be given.
Previous applicants do not need to re-apply.
