The reputation and success of Vale Wildlife Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre is only made possible
because of the hard work and dedication of the staff and volunteers who work within the organisation.
In charge of the overall running of the Charity, funding, the administration, the Memberships, paying the
many bills, the staffing and the day-to-day running of the Hospital are:
Caroline Gould (charity founder) and Martin Brookes (general manager).
Kat Bridges and Jeff Wood are our assistant managers, responsible for the assessment of casualties
coming in, their ongoing treatment, coordinating the release of successfully rehabilitated wildlife, our staff
and volunteer training and general maintenance of the hospital and site.
Our veterinary surgeon is Tim Partridge BVSc, MRCVS. and our veterinary nurse is Lydia Parry RVN.
We also have 2 Senior Care Assistants and a team of full-time and part-time Wildlife Care Assistants,
responsible for the 24/7 hands-on care of our casualties. Although we rely on the help of volunteers every
day, we need enough fully trained, experienced staff to be able to give the professional care necessary to
rehabilitate over 5,500 casualties every year, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year .
The manager of our charity shop in Evesham is George Brotherton. and our Cheltenham shop is
managed by Angela Chapman-Smith.
