Animal Care does what it says on the tin – it’s the care of animals, large and small. Whether the animals you look after are exotic creatures in a zoo, working on a farm or being pampered by loving owners at home, opportunities within this sector are massively varied. Animal Care roles are available in a wide range of locations all over the country, and even overseas too! This industry isn’t just limited to vets and zookeepers, with roles extending to the more behind the scenes positions, such as those concerned with the operations of animal sanctuaries or charities.
