Are
you passionate about animal care and looking for a role that offers
flexibility, variety, and the opportunity to work within a dynamic
animal centre environment? Do you thrive in hands‐on settings and
want to support excellent welfare standards across a diverse range
of species?
If so,
becoming a Supply Animal Technician at Easton College could be the
perfect fit.
As a supply
technician, you'll be called upon to provide essential cover during
staff absence, including sickness, holidays and busy periods,
ensuring that animal welfare, husbandry and daily routines continue
seamlessly. There are no set hours, making this ideal for someone
who wants flexible, meaningful work within the animal care
sector.
You'll be a
valued part of our team, helping to maintain high standards across
our Animal Management Centre while gaining varied experience across
multiple sections and
species.
In this
flexible and rewarding role, you
will:
· Maintain
excellent standards of animal welfare and husbandry across all
sections of the Animal Management
Centre
· Support
enrichment schedules and training programmes to promote natural
behaviour, exercise, and safe
handling
· Assist
with enclosure maintenance, ensuring spaces are safe, engaging and
species‐appropriate
· Monitor
animal health, administer treatments under veterinary instruction
and report concerns
promptly
· Prepare
diets, clean enclosures, maintain records and contribute to welfare
audits
· Supervise
students during duties sessions and practical
activities
· Help
with demonstrations, practical setups and student skill
development
· Support
college events, Open Days and activities when
required
Every shift
will bring something different—new species, new challenges, and
plenty of opportunities to develop your knowledge and practical
skills.
We're keen to
hear from you if you
have:
· Previous
experience in a similar
role
· Strong,
hands‐on husbandry and handling skills with a range of
species
· Confidence
in maintaining enclosures and supporting basic animal health
protocols
· A
flexible, adaptable approach and the ability to work
independently
· A
passion for welfare, education and supporting student
learning
· A
full driving
licence
Experience with
enrichment, training programmes or animal management software is a
bonus but not
essential.
At Easton
College, we value kindness, curiosity, inclusivity and
professionalism. You'll be joining a supportive team that works
collaboratively to provide the best possible environment for both
animals and students.
If
you're looking for flexible work where no two days are the same and
where your skills directly support animal welfare and student
learning, we'd love to hear from
you.
Join our Supply
Technician team and help us continue delivering outstanding care
across our Animal
Centre.
