Would your dream job involve working with animals to make a better world for pets?

Here is what one of our IP students from a previous year felt about their experience with us:

"I had an amazing year at WALTHAM. I was immediately welcomed by my team and everyone on site. I was given a lot of opportunities to see and experience different aspects of the Institute and Mars, as well as learn so much about dog behaviour and training from their experts. I was also encouraged to focus on my personal development during the year- one outcome of this is that I am now a more confident person."

We are looking to recruit two second year undergraduate students into Pet Unit Specialist industrial placements to work with our cats and dogs at the WALTHAM Petcare Science Institute, the global research centre for Mars Petcare.

This role is critical to the day to day delivery of our research trials but also to ensure a high standard of welfare to our pets.

·  A passion for animals is essential.

Ability To

Work different rota patterns (day shifts, including some weekend/bank holidays).

Numeracy, attention to detail and computer literacy are also key to ensure the accuracy of data collection and data handling required of the role.

What We Can Offer You
