Working with animals is a popular and satisfying career choice. There are numerous job opportunities from practical, hands-on roles to management positions, and the opportunity to care for anything from family pets through to endangered species.
You could rescue ill-treated animals, care for elephants and lions in a wildlife park, groom dogs in a salon, assist a vet in performing delicate operations or even run your own pet store. We offer a wide range of courses to suit all levels.
Animal Care facilities include:
- Reptiles room containing a range of snakes, lizards, spiders and amphibians kept in a variety of enclosures
- Aquatics room with a range of marine, tropical and coldwater fish, using different types of filter and support systems
- Dog-grooming facilities to wash and groom dogs to a professional standard
- Small mammal room with a range of rats, gerbils, chipmunks, chinchillas, degus, guinea pigs, rabbits and mice
- Outdoor rabbit and ferret enclosures
- New aviaries with budgerigars and love birds
- Our very own resident Animal Care cats!

Lauren Dear
With a menagerie of rabbits, dogs and horses at home it’s little surprise Lauren Dear dreams of being either a veterinary surgeon or animal physiotherapist.
‘My favourite part of the animal management course has been the practical sessions - especially working with the livestock. Yes, I find the course challenging, but that’s really cool.’
