Marwell Wildlife Volunteers

We are looking for volunteers on a Tuesday morning to help us keep the public spaces (non-animal areas) including grass areas, paths and planted areas safe and attractive.

The Plants and Landscapes team is a great team to volunteer in as there are a range of duties available include weeding, pruning, planting and other routine gardening tasks associated with the environment.

Ideally, you will have some experience or a demonstratable interest in gardening/plants and the use of garden hand tools, as well as the ability (with training) to use some powered garden equipment. 

It is important that you are a good team player, and also able to carry out tasks alone, have good initiative, and a warm and welcoming manner. Please note this role is practical and volunteers can be outside in all weathers and it will be dirty!

Support from volunteers is required all year round.

Full training and instruction will be provided for this volunteer role, as well as an initial trial period of between 1-3 months. 

Please complete the online application form to apply.

Veterinary Care Assistant Volunteer role

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Marwell Veterinary Team, assisting our registered veterinary nurses in their general day to day running of the practice based tasks.

What does the role involve?

• Maintaining hygiene of our Veterinary surgery and equipment
• Helping the team to prepare for upcoming procedures
• Input of information into our animal records system
• Assisting with pharmacy and consumable stock control
• Assisting with preventative health care tasks, e.g. faecal testing
• Maintaining the health and safety of the surgery and associated rooms
• Packaging and submitting samples
• Some computer and office-based work
• Some ad hoc tasks associated with veterinary surgery management

Please note this role will not involve direct animal handling, however you will be involved in preparation and processes for procedures and may be involved in things like notetaking for health-checks. 

We are looking for volunteers that can demonstrate a good level of veterinary care understanding in a clinical veterinary setting, although full training will be provided on relevant policies and procedures. Individuals need to have a thorough and detail-orientated approach to work, good time management, communication skills, and good use of initiative.

This role will involve some lone working, and you will be on your feet most of the day. You will also be handling some surgery-based hazards such as medication, sharps etc. along with some manual handling tasks.

We are looking for new Veterinary Care Volunteer Assistants who are able to commit to one day each week, Monday-Friday,  on a regular basis, between the hours of 08:00-17:00 (shorter hours within this working day are welcome).
