JOB DESCRIPTION

Job title: Animal Carer – Evenings

Accountable to: Head of Cattery & Head of Kennels

Department: Operations

Location: London

Context

Mayhew provides a range of animal welfare and veterinary services, in the UK and abroad. We offer expert
veterinary care, rescue and rehoming, programmes in the community and guidance and support to improve
the lives of dogs and cats in need.

We operate, in the main, from our historic building in north London but also have operations in Georgia and
Afghanistan. Our Animal Carers are an integral part of our work to ensure dogs and cats in need receive the
care, support and love they deserve.

Job purpose/summary

At Mayhew, dogs and cats in need come through the doors of our Home, a rescue and rehoming shelter in
North West London every day. We have up to 15 dogs and up to 80 cats in our care at any one time and
others through our Clinic who need care and support each day. We are very proud of the vital work we do to
make sure they have the care, support and love they deserve, and our Animal Carers are at the heart of this.

Our Evening Animal Carers are an important part of our team, making sure each dog and cat in our care has
their specific needs met, including feeding, cleaning, training and providing enrichment. This role also enables
us to provide our dogs with late evening walks, reducing the time they are in their kennels overnight.

We operate 7-days a week. Our Evening Animal Carers work the following shift pattern:

Week 1 Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
off off 3pm-11pm 3pm-11pm off 3pm-11pm 3pm-11pm

Week 2 Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
3pm-11pm 3pm-11pm off off 3pm-11pm off off

We offer a caring and supportive team, lots of variety and the opportunity to make a lasting difference to the
lives of dogs and cats who rely on us. To be suitable for this role you will need to be confident in handling and
caring for all types of dogs and cats in our care and you will need to be comfortable working within a team
between 3pm – 5pm and also lone-working in out-of-hours.
