The work at the wildlife centre can be very demanding. Typically in the summer we work from 8am until 10 pm, with occasional 4am feedings. An intern can expect to be involved in all aspects of the rehabilitation process. Most of the work for everyone is diet preparation and cleaning, but you will also be expected to take part in occasional rescues and releases, administer treatments, participate in building projects and grounds maintenance and some educational displays within the community. The schedule at the centre can be intense, but you will also be given time to enjoy the beautiful scenery this island has to offer.
Internships typically last six to eight weeks, depending on scheduling.
The wildlife centre offers very basic housing and occasionally some meals, but for the most part you will be responsible for keeping yourself fed. The wildlife centre is staffed by a dedicated rehabilitator and many volunteers. As an intern you will become part of a team of like minded people and will be treated with respect and friendship. Previous wildlife experience is not a prerequisite. Applications will not be accepted via e-mail.
