Donkey Handler

The Donkey Handler is responsible for the daily care and management of our donkeys, ensuring their health, safety, and well-being. This role involves feeding, grooming, and exercising the animals, as well as monitoring their behavior and physical condition for any signs of illness or distress. The Donkey Handler will work closely with veterinarians, trainers, and other staff to maintain clean living conditions and to support the overall welfare of the herd. Candidates should be comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions and possess a genuine affection for animals.

• Administering medications and basic first aid under veterinary guidance
• Cleaning stalls, paddocks, and equipment to maintain sanitary conditions
• Keeping accurate records of feeding, health, and behavior
• Assisting with training and enrichment activities for the donkeys
• Providing friendly and informative interactions with visitors during tours or events
