I don't think they have accomodation. They are probably looking for regular volunteers, say one day/afternoon /morning a week. That is how they do it in Edinburgh Zoo. So would suit anyone living locally.

Is there anyone near Kingussie with an interest in wildlife? They are starting a volunteer programme. There is a lot going on there, and it is run by people who would be great to work with.

"We're looking for people who have an interest in conservation and wildlife and who want to gain new experiences while assisting us in a range of areas across the Park. This includes acting as guides, meeting and greeting visitors, helping with the horticultural upkeep of the Park's public areas and assisting in our shop and café."

"People interested in applying for a volunteer position can do so by downloading the Volunteer Application Form from www.highlandwildlifepark.org.uk, or in writing to Visitor Services, Highland Wildlife Park, Kincraig, Kingussie PH21 1NL with applications closing 28th February. Once the team of volunteers is selected, training will begin in March with the team working for a 12 week period over summer. The programme will be ongoing and the volunteers selected will be able to return each year."
