Deciding on a career working with horses is easy for some, but it may be a trickier one for others, particularly if you are thinking about a career change.
There is no doubt about it, buying your first horse is exciting but at the same time can feel quite overwhelming. So many new tasks to consider and more than likely, new knowledge and skills to learn.
There are a diverse range of roles and organisations you can work within the area of animal rescue.
A career as a veterinary nurse is one of the most rewarding, exciting and fulfilling vocations in the world, where you will never stop learning, evolving and growing.

What does my perfect partner look like? Buying a horse, whether it is your first, second or third mount, is a big decision and a long-term commitment.

When you choose an animal care related vocation, it is likely you will be required to work as part of a small team. Animal care teams are often required to deal with a variety of situations, sometimes chaotic, sometimes emotional and often stressful.
If you love animals and have been considering a career working with animals, then volunteering is a fantastic way to get started.

You can start today and register for one of our nationally recognised qualifications across a broad range of animal related areas. Whether you want to work with dogs, cats, horses, large animals, wildlife including native mammals or smallies such as including exotics, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice, you can start your career pathway with AVT.
