About the Role

Wags & Whiskers Pet Hotel & Spa is a licensed dog boarding and daycare facility based at Brent Farm in Highbridge.

We are recruiting a qualified, reliable and dependable Canine Care Assistant to work under the direction of our Shift Leaders and help maintain the welfare, safety and comfort of every dog in our care.

Complete laundry, including washing, drying and returning bedding and towels.
Follow infection-control procedures, product instructions and cleaning schedules.
Keep food-preparation, storage and animal-care areas clean and organised.
Report maintenance issues, damaged equipment and stock shortages.

Team and Operational Support

Follow instructions and daily task allocations provided by the Shift Leader.
Work cooperatively with colleagues to complete the daily care schedule.
Provide clear handovers and communicate welfare or operational concerns promptly.
Assist with customer check-ins and check-outs when required.

Willingness to undertake all cleaning duties and deal regularly with animal waste and soiled bedding.
Strong attendance, punctuality and employment reliability.
Ability to follow structured procedures and complete tasks accurately.
Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
Physical capability to undertake an active role, carry supplies and assist with the safe movement of dogs, with reasonable adjustments where appropriate.
Full UK driving licence and reliable personal transport.
Right to work in the United Kingdom.
Availability for early starts, weekends and bank holidays.

Desirable Experience

Previous employment in dog boarding, daycare, kennels, veterinary practice, rescue or another professional animal-care environment.
Experience handling nervous, strong or reactive dogs.
Experience administering animal medication.
Customer service or reception experience.
Basic computer, booking-system and administrative skills.
