Wigfield Farm is very friendly and being so close to the animals makes it a very enjoyable place to work. “I have volunteered and worked in various animal collections since I was a teenager and have always loved learning and exploring the behaviours of animals. I’m a former Barnsley College student and really enjoyed my time here as a student and wanted to give back to the College who helped me achieve my goals.” Studied Animal Behaviour and Welfare at: University of Chester
