From level 2 in animal care at a local college right through to a BSC in Animal Management we understand the importance of getting hands on experience with a variety of animals in different circumstances as part of your learning and development. We have students on placement varying from a one-week work experience to staying us for two years gaining practical hours for their qualification. As each course requires different requirements, we work on a bespoke basis making your placement unique to you to help you reach the goals you set and will fully support you every step of the way in your educational journey.
Institutions we currently have students on placement from: Barnsley College, Rotherham College, Hillsborough College, Leeds Beckett University, Rotherham Opportunities College.
If you are a college looking to place students with us please contact: volunteers@thornberryanimalsanctuary.org
