NEW VACANCY - Charity Shop Supervisor & Receptionist Full and Part Time Post & Casual Animal Care Assistant Post at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 11:07, 14th Jan, 2017 | 0

The GSPCA are currently looking for a staff members to help with our increasingly busy front desk and develop our charity shop area.

 We are also looking for an additional casual animal care assistant to help meet the needs of the Shelter.

All roles are to help cover 7 days a week and especially on weekends and bank holidays when the GSPCA is often extremely busy.

We have a team of 20 staff and over 600 volunteers and without the whole team we couldn't help the 3000+ animals that come through the doors every year, care for the many boarders and achieve so much.

Lucky cormorant survives fish hook through her system now back in the wild

Submitted by Steve on 21:37, 13th Jan, 2017 | 0

Last Sunday GSPCA Warden Suzy Rose was called out to a very poorly large seabird.

The bird was identified as a comorant and staff were concerned for its health due to line possibly attached to a hook inside the bird so it was taken to Isabelle Vets.

The bird was examined by Vet Ben Howitt who decided to x-ray the cormorant that the GSPCA staff has named 'Lady in Black'.

The x-ray clearly showed a hook inside Lady in Black and so the bird needed 5 days worth of care and a little luck to help her back to the wild.
