Hen Collection Driver

British Hen Welfare Trust (BHWT) - Denny
VO89537

Would you like to help save lives? Do you enjoy driving and own a 4-wheel drive vehicle with tow bar, a horse or livestock trailer or a medium/large van with good ventilation? If so, we’d like to hear from you.

We are the British Hen Welfare Trust and since 2005 we have been saving and rehoming ex-caged laying hens throughout the United Kingdom. Working closely with leaders in the egg industry, we designed and developed the original rehoming model for ex-caged hens, and so far have found homes for over 960,000 hens to date.

We’re looking for volunteer drivers to load and transport hens from commercial farms (assisted by other BHWT volunteers), and deliver them to our rehoming sites. Each rehoming site conducts approximately 10 events a year which are generally held on weekends.

Experience required

Ideally you will be used to driving some distances towing a trailer or driving a van.
