Detailed description
Velserbeek Petting Zoo is a much-visited place where (grand)parents with children can enjoy watching and interacting with animals.
There is a need for supervisors on the farm, especially during the weekend. As a volunteer supervisor, you will be deployed once every 4 to 5 weeks on Saturday or Sunday to supervise from 12:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
You do not have to care for or feed the animals, but make sure that no animals escape and that the children treat the animals kindly. You also open the farm and the gates through which children have to go.
You also ensure that the play equipment is placed outside and the toilet building is opened
