This role is particularly suited to someone who is confident and experienced handling horses and enjoys working outdoors, travelling to different properties and being hands-on with horses. A veterinary nursing qualification is not required — strong horse handling skills and a willingness to learn are more important.

- Assisting with sedation and treatments
- Preparing and maintaining equipment
- Assisting with diagnostics and procedures
