Animal Care Assistant Welfare Careers

Animal Care Assistants are employed by most animal rescue charities. The main function of an ACA, is to provide for the needs of animals while they are in an organisation’s care. The daily work involves cleaning, feeding, exercising and looking after different types of animals in the care of an animal charity. This role is an excellent starting point for someone wishing to gain animal care experience or for those who are unsure as to which animal career they ultimately wish to pursue.

Training such as that provided in our animal welfare courses is considered by employers to be relevant to this career.
