Testimonial
"I went on an Animal Jobs Direct Practical Project Placement for a week with very little experience in animal care (and none with primates) and I wasn't sure what to expect.  All staff and volunteers were extremely approachable, friendly and patient, and all shared a passion for the animals that was infectious.  I learnt a lot about basic care for primates during my time and it confirmed to me that I wanted to work in animal welfare.  I plan to go back soon but for a longer period of time.   The work that they do is highly commendable and I would encourage anyone that is thinking about working in this sector to attend a practical placement first".
