Work opportunities

We regularly take work experience students from local schools, who'll gain experience of working with children, animal care, making classroom displays and resources and conservation work in the grounds.

Here is what one of our past work experience students said about her time with us:

Hi, I'm Lisa and I did my work experience at the Hive, I came for two weeks. I've learned new skills and recapped on subjects I've learned before. I have met very nice people, helped with the Suntrap animals and helped the students with their work. I've been working really hard with helping the staff to prepare for lessons and helped during the lessons as well. I really enjoyed being out in the forest and holding the animals I was comfortable with. I was asked to paint some of the animals, here is Sally, one of the Salamanders. Overall I've enjoyed the whole experience, and I will miss it.
