Employee Animal Ambulance Driver

As a volunteer at the animal ambulance you help animals in need and that is very nice work. It can be difficult work, you also come into contact with injured or sick animals.

The work is extremely diverse; you free animals from dire situations, take them as safely as possible to a shelter such as an animal shelter or veterinarian, check stray animals for microchips and return found animals to their owners. You can also be called in to assist the fire brigade, police and other services. You do this together with colleagues, who all have a big heart for animals. No two notifications or services are the same and you see that as a challenge.

Your flexibility and creativity come into their own in this way. With your calm but decisive way of acting you reassure animals and people.
