Maintenance Volunteer

Secret World Wildlife Rescue specialises in the rescue, rehabilitation and eventual release of orphaned and injured wild creatures. It is run entirely on donations and runs a wildlife rescue service in the South West of England. Each year, more than 5,000 wild animals are helped by Secret World Wildlife Rescue. Together with a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, we continue to care for all manner of creatures, from the tiniest harvest mice and bats to badgers, swans, foxes, deer and otters. If you have practical experience and skills relating to maintenance or construction, able to work quite independently or as part of a team, then you may be able to assist in the day to day management of the site, its seventy plus enclosures and other facilities.Work is obviously quite physical and can consist of indoor and outdoor tasks in all weathers. Wildlife care experience and get to see a large variety of different species. Learn more about the threats faced by our native species and how certain diseases and injuries are treated. We ask volunteers to commit to this role for a minimum of six months, attending one shift per fortnight or more (shifts are 8AM - 1PM, 1PM - 5PM and 5PM - 10PM)
