Do you have a passion for animal care and supporting young people in an educational setting?
The Axis Academy are seeking a dedicated and compassionate School Farm Caretaker to manage and maintain our developing school farm which is designed to support students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The role involves supporting the Outdoor Learning Mentor with animal care, farm maintenance and compliance with UK animal welfare and health &amp; safety policies.
This position offers a rewarding opportunity to work in an educational setting and helping students engage with animals and nature in a therapeutic and educational environment.
The successful applicant will work collaboratively with students and staff under the direction of the Outdoor Learning Mentor to support the needs of the farm.
Our farm currently has goats, chickens, ducks, rabbits and guinea pigs with the prospect of additional animals in the autumn term.
