A genuine interest in falcons, birds of prey and animal welfare. Comfortable handling animals and working in a hands-on environment. Strong attention to detail, particularly around feeding, cleaning, monitoring and welfare checks. Reliable, flexible and able to work both independently and as part of a team. Good communication skills and the ability to follow instructions carefully. Physically able to carry out practical duties, including cleaning, feeding and estate-related tasks. Professional, discreet and respectful when working within a private estate environment. Willingness to learn and develop specialist knowledge within falcon breeding and care.
