Resumo: The Centre is operative 365 days a year, 24/7; it is committed to recovering and rescuing of wounded autochthonous wild animals (deer, roes, raptors, hedgehogs, foxes, dormice, etc…).
It also deals with the protection of abandoned or abused in case of cruelty and unauthorized trade and possession of exotic fauna (felines, primates, parrots, etc.).
The work of volunteers is organized in groups called Earth, Water (to which the Air group is added only during the summer) and Fire, each of which provides for the management of different species.

Perfil: Age: 18-30
Volunteers must be prepared for a country and outdoor lifestyle. At the Centre, the work is physically demanding especially during autumn/winter when daily work is often accompanied by cold, rain and snow.

Tarefas: The group called Fire, which involves the management of primates and big cats (animals belonging to the so-called dangerous species), is assigned only to long-term volunteers (at least 6 months) who show to be provides for the management of exotic animals such as raccoons, parrots, tortoises and turtles, etc...
Part of the work with exotic animals includes the preparation of environmental and feeding enrichment too.
Instead, the groups called Water and Air provide for the management of native wildlife. In springtime the work increases due to the large number of injured animals to rescue night and day; in this season a lot of time is dedicated to rescuing wounded autochthonous wild animals, nursing and taking care of their young.
After the initial and necessary training period, combined with the fundamental acquisition of safety standards, the volunteers take care of routine tasks daily including feeding, caring and cleaning the animals housed on the work path to which they are assigned.
Furthermore, the volunteers, initially alongside the responsible staff, later also autonomously, will be
involved in rescue operation of the injured fauna.

Horário: The daily schedule and the timetable can change according to the season, the number of volunteers, and the requests of rescue or other unexpected occurrences. Therefore, the Centre asks volunteers for flexibility in working hours.
Generally, work shifts range from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm, and, after a 2 hours lunch-break, from 3.30 pm to 6.30 pm.
The Centre is a no profit organization mainly based on volunteering work; the staff is made up of volunteers, Civil Service volunteers (for European citizen) and trainees coming from Italy and Europe (Spain, Belgium, England, etc...).
The Centre is a particular and original big family: all the staff members live in close contact and personal spaces are much reduced. We expect that volunteers coming at the
Centre are ready to enrich our reality with their personal contribution.

Condições: Accommodation:
The Association has two accommodation options for volunteers. The preferred option for long-term volunteers is a house with a garden located in a small village (approximately 1.5 km from the headquarters). The semi-detached house has 2 double rooms and a three beds room, two bathrooms, an equipped kitchen, the living room and the laundry. Volunteers are responsible for cleaning their own accommodation following programmed shifts.

Food allowance & pocket money
Every day the Center guarantees food to all its volunteers. By rotation, a collaboration is required in the kitchen (preparation of meals and table, washing of dishes, etc.). The meal (or equivalent amount) is guaranteed during rest days and holidays too. The Pocket money is 5€ per day
