Hello,
Currently I work in Marks and Spencer as a customer assistant, its a good job but I want to do more and I feel I have a lot of compassion and patience to offer.
I haven’t got any formal training, but in the past, I’ve helped out on my granny’s farm during lambing, taking care of orphaned lambs etc. I have a natural urge to protect and look after animals.
I was wondering what the average hours per week are for the 6 month seasonal vacancy?
If you have any more information please contact me: bumble_b20@msn.com
Many thanks, Lyndsay Menzies

Hello!
I’ve been checking on your site for a while now for any job vacancies and unfortunately haven’t seen any. I am an extreme animal lover who would love to work in an environment which taking care of animals would be my priority. I currently work in the public transport industry and I feel that with my knowledge and love for animals is being put to waste. I recently rescued a horse who was in a very poorly condition and is currently being nursed back to health by myself and it has made me realise that this would be my dream job. I would love to be considered, or put on a job waiting list if anything came up in the future.
I’d love to hear from you!
Thanks,
Tammi.

Hi Tammi, there is a farm near Paisley called Lamont City Farm who are a charity run animal rescue centre. They are always desperate for volunteers and there is no waiting lists. They have a large selection of animals including domestic, farm and wildlife. It would be a good chance to gain some experience and would bulk up your CV for applying to Hessilhead for future jobs. Just google Lamont Farm and ask for Michelle or Tricia. Good luck xxx
