Job Description
Do you have a passion for animal care and supporting young people in an educational setting
The Axis Academy are seeking a dedicated and compassionate School Farm Caretaker to manage and maintain our developing school farm which is designed to support students with Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The role involves supporting the Outdoor Learning Mentor with animal care farm maintenance and compliance with UK animal welfare and health & safety policies.
This position offers a rewarding opportunity to work in an educational setting and helping students engage with animals and nature in a therapeutic and educational environment.
The successful applicant will work collaboratively with students and staff under the direction of the Outdoor Learning Mentor to support the needs of the farm.
Our farm currently has goats chickens ducks rabbits and guinea pigs with the prospect of additional animals in the autumn term. We do not expect the successful applicant to have experience with these animals because full training and support will be provided; our expectation is that you have a love of animals as we do.
This position will require limited weekend work to check and feed the animals. Hours will be fairly flexible depending on the needs of the farm and will be discussed at interview.
In addition to the 16 hours available for this position there may be the possibility of an additional 10 hours available supporting teachers to prepare for lessons. Again this can be discussed further with you.
We warmly welcome visits to our school so you can experience first-hand the inspiring atmosphere and supportive environment at The Axis Academy. To arrange a visit please contact us onor email .
