Hopefield Animal Sanctuary hiring for caregivers and marketing role

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 09:29 · Archive

Hopefield Animal Sanctuary in Brentwood, Essex, is recruiting two temporary Animal Caregivers and a Digital Marketing and Growth Manager. The charity cares for approximately 700 rescued animals.

The two Animal Caregiver positions are available on temporary contracts running until March 2027. Successful applicants will work three days a week on a rota, from 8am until 4pm, with wages ranging from £8 to £12.71 an hour in line with the National Minimum Wage. Previous experience in animal care is essential, and applicants must be prepared to work outside in cold, wet and muddy conditions.

The role is described as practical and physically demanding, with much of the work taking place outdoors. Responsibilities include preparing feeds, supplying fresh water, cleaning enclosures and shelters, replacing bedding and monitoring the animals' health, appetite and behaviour. Staff will also help with enrichment, grooming and routine health checks, whilst keeping an eye out for hazards including ice and flooding.

Hopefield describes winter as its most challenging season, with colder temperatures, rain and muddy conditions creating additional work to ensure its animals remain warm and comfortable.

Alongside the two animal-care vacancies, the sanctuary is advertising for a Digital Marketing and Growth Manager. The full-time position is for 37.5 hours a week and comes with a salary of between £30,000 and £37,000 depending on experience.
