Wanted: Loving go-getter

In this position you are at the forefront of carrying out our mission: helping animals in need. On average, 100 sick and injured animals stay in our hospital.

You start the day at 9:00 am in the cafeteria. There the permanent animal caretakers divide the animal accommodation among the volunteers. Perhaps you will work in the quarantine rooms of the cats or in the free-range rooms, you can be assigned to the bird rooms or to the farm animals.

Then it's time for the first round. You clean the lofts and refresh the water bowls. You feed, administer medication, tend to wounds and talk and play with the animals. You work carefully and accurately according to the instructions given. You share details that you come across with department head Yvonne and note them in the diaries. One cat eats his bowl too quickly, the other cat eats with great difficulty. After taking care of the animals, you help with getting rid of the laundry or with vacuuming and mopping, because yes, you know what to do!
