The new Animal Care and Welfare Assistant Apprenticeship is a Level 2 Apprenticeship which has been developed in partnership with a number of prominent animal care employers.

Working alongside a GBGB registered trainer, you will learn the ‘gold standard’ for caring and raising racing greyhounds. The majority of your time will be spent gaining first-hand experience and completing modules in animal care and welfare, biology, behaviour and handling.
