Internships with the Cornish Seal Sanctuary´s animal care team run for three months at a time from either October - December or January - March.   This period is usually our busiest as it is the grey seal pupping season meaning this is when the majority of our rescue and rehabilitation work is taking place. Our intern would be expected to work with us five days a week from approximately 8am - 5pm during their internship. They will work with the animal care team to assist in our daily routine which involves feeding and caring for our resident animals, preparing diets, cleaning of enclosures and work spaces, as well as environmental enrichment for our residents. As it will be pupping season, you will also assist in the rehabilitation of rescue seals which may include clinical care, feeding, vet visits, rescues and releases. This is a great opportunity for someone to learn how rehabilitation is done first-hand with our rescue seals, as well as getting an insight into what goes in to caring for our resident animals full-time including long term treatments, training and enrichment! There will also be opportunity to learn from our animal care team about positive reinforcement training as well as being able to create new enrichment devices for our residents. We would also encourage our intern to take a lead with our regular and work placement volunteers; showing them the basic duties etc when they first start with us.
