You will work closely with veterinarians, animal care teams, volunteers, adopters, educators, and leadership to ensure each animal receives individualized care and the best possible path forward—whether that is adoption, sanctuary, or participation in educational programming.

  • Train staff in safe handling, barn protocols, emergency procedures, and individualized care plans
  • Maintain high standards for professionalism, safety, and consistency across all animal areas

Volunteer Oversight

  • Supervise and support volunteers working with equine and farm animals
  • Coordinate assignments with volunteer leadership
  • Ensure volunteers are trained, supported, and following safety protocols

Veterinary Coordination

  • Coordinate routine and urgent veterinary care, including farrier, dentistry, and bodywork
  • Maintain accurate medical records and communicate care plans clearly to staff

Adoptions & Placement

  • Review adoption applications and conduct adopter interviews and facility assessments
  • Educate adopters on animal needs and successful transitions
  • Support long-term adoption success through post-placement follow-up

Outreach & Programming

  • Oversee promotion of adoptable horses and farm animals with photos, videos, and bios
  • Lead equine-related educational programs, workshops, and demonstrations
  • Partner with communications and development teams to share success stories and educational content

Community & Professional Training

  • Coordinate equine cruelty and neglect training for law enforcement and partner agencies
  • Assist with curriculum and hands-on training when appropriate
  • Serve as a resource for equine cruelty cases in the community

Ideal Candidate

  • Strong experience with equine care, training, and behavior evaluation
  • Knowledge of farm animal care and welfare standards
  • Experience managing staff, volunteers, and barn operations
  • Excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills
  • Ability to work in a hands-on environment in all weather conditions
  • Passion for animal rescue and the mission of Alaqua Animal Refuge
