Work Experience Programme

The Wildlife Aid Foundation offers Work Experience placements between February and November each year.  Placements are not offered in December and January as the hospital is extremely quiet during these months and learning potential would be greatly reduced. 

Students will become involved in the day to day running of the hospital, with the cleaning and feeding that accompanies the ongoing animal care and welfare that we offer. 

Our placements consist of 5 days work experience over a 7 day period, with some students working one day at the weekend as the hospital is open 7 days a week.  The weekend day will be advised in plenty of time, and will be at the end of the placement week (i.e. all weeks start on a Monday, and will finish on a Sunday, with two days off during that period).  Usual hours will be from 9am - 5pm, with an hour for lunch.

If you wish to reserve a placement, please email us with your dates and provided we have availability you will be sent an application form to complete and return to us. 

Please note that we ask for a payment of £30 for each week to cover our admin and insurance costs and all students must be over the age of 16 when they start their placement.
