The North East Wildlife & Animal Rescue Centre is the largest wildlife rescue in the north of Scotland. An independent Charity, based just outside Ellon, Aberdeenshire, we take in large numbers of orphaned or injured birds and mammals every year.

Wildlife rehabilitation: We have many years experience hand-rearing orphan birds, and dealing with orphaned and injured mammals, with the intention to release them back into the wild when they are fit and able.
Since we started in 2006 we have rescued and rehabilitated over 16,000 animals and birds. We have a 24/7 service, offering advice and assistance, and an Animal Ambulance to take us out and about when we are able

The New Arc is looking for an ‘all-rounder’ to join their team at the wildlife centre.
Very sadly Mike, who has been a vital staff member is moving on due to family commitments and we are now looking for a self motivated person to step into his shoes!
The position requires a fit and self-motivated individual with empathy and consideration for all animals and birds, regardless of species
The successful candidate will be expected to have sufficient joinery skills to maintain aviaries and outbuildings and assist in the building of new ones. Maintenance of the surrounding grass and garden areas will also be required
Additional duties also require some feeding and cleaning out of animal and bird areas.
The hours are 9.00 am -5 pm 5 days per week.
We are a tight knit group so a friendly disposition and good sense of humour is essential
Please email in the first instance for an application form, and fuller job description

This wee scrap arrived yesterday, very small for the time of year, and extremely thin and weak, weighing a mere 58g. A long way to go for her but we are hopeful she makes a full recovery
That brings us to 5 squirrels in care at present, with 2 of those due to head out to the wild very soon
So thrilled to receive a donation from P6D and P6M, Balmedie School who were happy to donate their end of term gift to our charity as they love wildlife!
Thank you all very much indeed 💖💖💖
