ACE are looking for one volunteer to join an existing volunteer to travel to Luxor, Egypt to provide the support and training to ACE’s team of local vets and recent graduates.
Animal Care in Egypt is a charity dedicated to helping stop the suffering of thousands of animals in the poorest communities of Luxor by providing free veterinary care and education.
This is alongside preventative treatments and education, delivering a long-term impact on the welfare of working animals and the people that depend on them so greatly for their livelihoods. These hard-working animals often lack the most basic veterinary care. Many are neglected or mistreated, not through malice, but due to lack of understanding or provisions.
The dedicated team of vets treat and save the lives of thousands of animals all year round. We have a walk-in clinic, a hospital to perform crucial surgeries and 25 stables that allow the animals to rest from their working lives where they can recover.
ACE require veterinarian volunteers with experience of teaching. Volunteers will work alongside the ACE veterinary team and deliver one to one training sessions. The vets would like to upskill in the following areas: ultrasound, endoscopy, lab work, neurology, x-ray diagnosis and wound management (new research).
Volunteers need to be good teachers, adaptable to working in a low resource environment and have good problem-solving skills.
Volunteers should follow the FCO Travel advice and arrange to have the recommended vaccines. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/egypt
Flights, transfers and shared accommodation onsite provided. Please note the two volunteers will be sharing a room.
For further information and to apply to volunteer for the project please email your CV along with a covering note to leaya@beva.org.uk
