Your training
Training is in house with regular visits from the training provider. Support with course work, and ongoing on-the-job training.
We are based 20 minutes from Gatwick Airport but you will need independent travel to get to us as we are in the beautiful Mid Sussex countryside.
Where it leads
We would hope to employ the successful apprentice on a full-time basis if they excelled in their work and commitment to the company and the animals.
