Volunteer Ambulance Wardens needed to help cover our 24/7 service at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 11:03, 24th Sep, 2019 | 0

For over 40 years the GSPCA has operated a 24/7 Ambulance Service thanks to our amazing team.

Without volunteers we could not operate 24/7 365 days a year and we are currently looking to recruit additional volunteers that can help us cover this essential service that helps 1000’s of animals every year.

Volunteers need to have a full clean driving licence and a passion for heling animals and the Guernsey community.
