Vet Nurse Volunteer China
Animals Asia can only accept applications from volunteers trained in either veterinary science / vet nursing or qualified in wild-animal management (volunteers will also be considered who have a lot of experience working in the veterinary profession), as all hands on work with the bears necessitates intensive training.
All veterinary volunteer placements require a commitment of at least three months.
Basic Veterinary Nurse Volunteer Requirements
- Recognised veterinary nursing qualification.
- Experience working in veterinary practice in a veterinary nursing role.
Main Duties
- Make medicated shakes for bears.
- Walk and feed local dogs daily.
