🐾 Calling All Animal Lovers – Volunteer Opportunity at the East Kilbride Farm Show! 🐍🐇🦎
We’re on the lookout for passionate, reliable, and confident volunteers to join us at the East Kilbride Farm Show on the last Saturday of July!
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a fun, educational, and hands-on animal experience, helping to care for and showcase a wide range of animals—from exotic reptiles like snakes and lizards to small mammals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and rats.
But this isn’t just about handling animals — it’s also about inspiring and educating the public, especially children, about the importance of animal welfare, responsible pet ownership, and the fascinating world of exotic and domestic species. You’ll be part of a team helping people understand and appreciate animals they may have never encountered before!
⸻
What We’re Looking For:
✅ A genuine interest in animals and their care
✅ Confidence and comfort handling a variety of species, including reptiles, mammals, and small exotics
✅ Friendly, approachable, and good with people of all ages
✅ Ideally studying or interested in pursuing animal care, veterinary nursing, zoology, or similar courses
✅ Age 16+ preferred (younger volunteers may be considered with parental support)
⸻
What You’ll Gain:
🌟 Valuable hands-on experience with animals
🌟 Opportunity to develop communication and public engagement skills
🌟 Great experience for your CV or future college/university applications
🌟 A fun and rewarding day as part of a supportive team
🌟 The chance to inspire others to care more deeply about animals and wildlife
