Are you looking for a fulfilling and rewarding career in equine care? If the answer is yes, please read on.

Redwings is one of the largest horse welfare charities in the UK, where everything we do is for the love of the horse. Working for us means you can make a real difference in the lives of the horses in our care while being part of a supportive and progressive workplace.

• You will conduct visual health checks, administer prescribed medication, and assist in catching and holding nervous horses for the farrier and vet team.
• Drive and operate Sanctuary vehicles and machinery.

What can we offer you?
• A busy, supportive, team-working environment
• Ongoing development through training and mentoring with opportunities for progression
• Wellbeing support through our Employee Assistance Programme
