Job Opportunities

Riding Instructor

The Sanctuary is a registered riding establishment, with all the necessary insurance in place, although at the moment we only give short pony rides to visiting children, as we do not have any qualified staff to give riding lessons.

We wonder whether anyone would consider giving riding lessons to children. We would prefer that you hold a BHS certificate, but this is not essential if you have the necessary experience.

Would anyone qualified who is interested, please contact us.

We do need volunteers to help with the animals and visitors. Although we have many animals to be cared for, we do also need volunteers for jobs other than animal care.

We have many educational visits by schools and groups, such as brownies and cubs, and anyone happy to work with children and give informal talks who could offer us an occasional day to come and help educate the children about animals would be most welcome.

We also have a small tearoom which can get quite busy in the middle of summer, perhaps you have experience in this field and could offer us an occasional day to come and work in our tearoom?

We also have a shop on site, perhaps you have some retail experience and would be happy to offer us an occasional day to come and serve in our shop.

All these volunteer positions will require a CRB check to conform with regulations.

If you could spare us an occasional day to help with any of the above jobs, please contact us for a volunteer form to complete.
