Support Role

  • VO98867


Description

Equine Outreach are a Social Enterprise Company that allows disadvantaged people from Falkirk and the surrounding areas to interact with horses and people, improving their communication skills and confidence. This helps them to integrate further into society and also improve employment opportunities.

We are currently looking for caring and compassionate volunteers to support our efforts by helping the individuals that visit us interact with our horses and related activities. This role involves spending time with the variety of people that visit us and walking them through the daily duties of a stable, such as animals husbandry (grooming, feeding, leading) and day-to-day tasks (mucking out, yard maintenance).

Someone who is good with people and who loves animals and the outdoors would suit this role. We're a small and welcoming team, we take a flexible approach and our goal is that all our volunteers get something out of their time with us - whether it's being around people and animals that they enjoy, gaining experience of support work or training towards British Horse Society accreditations, for example.
