The College of Veterinary Medicine seeks candidates for a Horse Farm Assistant to perform general construction and maintenance of farm equipment and facilities that support routine care for animals.

This position requires frequent manual labor. The successful candidate should have experience working with horses (either professionally or personally) and have knowledge of farm equipment operation. Experience and comfort with handling horses as well as an understanding of horse behavior is critical to success in this role.

Each morning, the farm assistant will gather horses to get them ready for plasma collection. The horses are taken into a room for prep and the farm assistant secures the horse while the techs work.
