🦙 Work Experience Placements 2026–27 🐴🐰

Are you a college student looking for a work experience placement for your Animal Care or Livestock course?

Happyard is an alpaca farm just outside Dorchester, where we care for alpacas alongside a variety of other animals, including horses, guinea pigs and rabbits.

We’re looking for caring, reliable and hardworking students who have a genuine interest in animals and want to gain hands-on experience in a busy working animal environment.

Your placement day will run from 9:30am–3:30pm, with day-to-day duties including:

🦙 Feeding and providing hay
💧 Ensuring animals have fresh water
🐴 General animal care and welfare
🧹 General farm duties and keeping animal areas clean and tidy
❤️ Helping with the everyday care and needs of our animals

Our placements are ideal for students studying Animal Care, Livestock or other related courses, and are a great opportunity to gain practical experience and develop your confidence working with animals.

📅 Interviews will begin from mid-September 2026.

We receive a high level of interest in our placements each year and spaces are limited, so if you’re looking for a placement for the 2026–27 college year, please get in touch as soon as possible.

If you feel you would be a suitable candidate, please email your covering letter and CV to:

📧 [email protected]

We’re looking forward to hearing from students who are enthusiastic, committed, with a high work ethic and genuinely passionate about animal care. 🦙❤️

Please feel free to share this post with anyone who may be looking for a college work experience placement!
