Wildlife Rescuer
Many calls that come into our 24/7 Wildlife Rescue line require someone that is confident and trained to contain and transport the bird or animal to a vet or carer. At other times we need people to collect animals from vets and transport to our wildlife carers who are often busy with feeds and cleaning enclosures. This is a great role for someone that likes driving and helping others and is capable of problem solving when a rescue becomes tricky.
You will be supported by a Team Leader and provided with extensive online and practical training at our Wildlife Rescue 101. This position requires training before you can volunteer and the purchase of some equipment. Please go to our training page to see when the next course is available.

Our mission is to rehabilitate and release when we can or relieve suffering when it is necessary. This position requires training before you can volunteer and the purchase of some equipment.
