Job description

Our Manager role is a key position at Swan Lifeline, supported by our animal care assistants and volunteers overseeing the day-to-day running of the site.

This is a physical, outdoor role that supports our mission to Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release Swans back to the wild. Some experience on the water would be an advantage but not essential as training can be given.

Swan Lifeline is the oldest registered charity devoted entirely to the care of sick and injured swans in the Thames Valley and surrounding area and has cared for thousands of sick and injured swans over the last 30 years.

Key Responsibilities

● Lead daily animal care, including feeding, cleaning and site maintenance.

● On a daily basis, manage staff, volunteers and work with Trustees.

● Attend swan rescues and releases, handling birds in a safe, sensitive and confident manner.

● Being able to confidently liaise with members of the public/emergency services.

● Allocate daily tasks to our team of onsite staff and volunteers.

● Maintain and prepare our rescue equipment.

● Handle enquiries from the general public via phone and email.

● Able to handle pressure calmly and professionally. 

You will have the following skills and strengths:

● Experience in animal care and treating sick or injured animals.

● Good customer facing skills, and positive behaviours in dealing with people.

● Initiative and ability to work well as part of a team and on own without close supervision.

● Full, Clean manual driving licence.

We’d love if you also had these:

● Previous experience of working with Swans/large waterfowl.

● Experience as a Team leader or similar.

● Practical experience and confidence working on/near the river (eg: use of Kayak).

Swan Lifeline is an equal opportunity employer.
