Interested in doing work experience at one of our Rescue and Rehoming Centres or in our Head Office?
We offer work experience placements to students and individuals who are genuinely interested in following a career in the equine industry or charitable work. Placements are available at all four Rescue and Rehoming centres located in Norfolk, Somerset, Lancashire and Aberdeenshire, as well as our head office in Norfolk.
This is a very popular scheme and places are limited.
Rescue and Rehoming Centre placements
For placements working with the equine teams you are required to have the following clothing:
- Steel toe-capped boots or wellingtons. You will not be permitted on the yard without these.

Please note that jewellery, obvious make-up and the wearing of perfume is not permitted on any yard.
