- Hourly pay and mileage begin from the point clients are collected; travel to and from clients’ homes is not paid
Why Join Us?
- A rewarding job where your support helps people gain confidence and independence
- A supportive team and welcoming workplace
- Varied, hands-on work with animals and outdoor activities

- Permanent part-time work with family-friendly daytime hours
What We’re Looking For:
- A passion for making a difference
- Comfortable working outdoors and around animals
- An interest in animal care, horses, practical work or supporting adults with learning disabilities
- A friendly, motivating presence with a patient and can-do attitude
