Summary

My name is Caitlin. I am a hard working student, with a passion for animal care. I am looking for a placement position while I continue studying CERT IV that will commence in February 2026 - after finishing my current CERT II in Animal Care (finishing in December 2025). I have an interest in working in emergency and critical care after I completed my studies. I have experience in the field through my placement at Casual Vet in 2024 (which I was studying online at TAFE) but in the year of 2025, I decided to enroll in full time TAFE at BANKSTOWN hoping to learn more from classroom learning. The opportunity to do placement at your clinic would open my eyes to learn and expand my knowledge in the field, and I am looking forward to finding the right opportunity.
