How to Apply

We are looking to recruit foal sitters on a temporary ad hoc basis for next year’s foaling season between February and July 2026.

Foal sitting is an essential element in providing the best neonatal care in a safe environment to enable these newborn foals to thrive. We are looking for people who have a good understanding and experience of mare and foal work.

The role of a foal sitter will include:

  • Assisting our nurses with treatments as required
  • Standing and turning recumbent patients
  • Under supervision, you may be required to monitor vital signs such as heart and respiratory rate, temperature, blood pressure and urine output
  • General “housework” duties

For more information, please see downloads.

To apply, please email your CV and a cover letter detailing your interest in this position to recruitment@rossdales.com.

This is a paid role and there will be an onsite induction for successful applicants prior to you starting with us.

 

Only registered members can apply for jobs.
