The role
What an animal welfare worker actually does, day to day.
As an animal welfare worker, you help animals that need looking after. You might work in a shelter, a rescue centre or with a charity that protects animals. Your job is to make sure the animals in your care are healthy, happy and safe.
Most days you will feed and groom the animals, give them water and clean their living spaces. You will watch them carefully to spot if any are ill or hurt, and help them feel calm if they are scared or upset. You might also work with the police or RSPCA to help animals that have been neglected or treated badly - that can be sad work sometimes, but it's important because it keeps animals safe. You'll talk to people who want to give a pet a home, making sure they understand what the animal needs.
