- Assisting vets and nurses with a huge variety of tasks on the yard, in the clinic and office.
- Handling and care of horses mainly at the clinic and vet’s own horses to ensure a full spectrum of routine horse care is achieved.

Personal Qualities : The ability to be part of team is vital. Common sense and ability to use own initiative are important as well as being professional, on time, and fully committed.
Skills Required : Confidence with horses and handling skills. Good communication skills and ability work with others.
Future Prospects : Apprenticeships are a new field for Deben Valley Equine and we hope over the years to develop a rolling program of more than one apprentice so that the longer standing apprentice can act as an extra mentor for the new apprentice. Realistically, as the practice continues to grow it is possible that a permanent position for a clinic assistant would be created for the right person.
