Calling animal lovers looking for some hands-on experience in a farm environment
We are very proud of our wonderful farm at Ufton. Children gain confidence and the freedom to flourish when they visit and learn all about the various animals including runner ducks, goats and pigs. Holding chickens, collecting eggs and stroking goats gives them a truly magical experience and is a real highlight of their visit to Ufton. For some, it is their first immersive experience on a farm and creates lifelong passion. For others it is a vital part of learning and nurturing therapeutic behaviours which can be an invaluable tool for them to develop.
What’s in it for you?
• Learning and improving knowledge and skills related to animals in a farm environment
• Mucking out animal houses
• Work with animals including nail trimming, hair brushing, feeding and socialising
• Being part of the Ufton team.
• Delicious cakes and biscuits made by our catering team.
What skills do I need?
• Is reliable and able to commit to regular Monday or Wednesday mornings
• Is confident and knowledgeable around farm animals
• Can work in a team and independently
• Is physically able to carry out strenuous, repetitive tasks such as mucking out
• Is happy to work outside during cold weather
