Apprentice Dog Care Assistant / Dog Trainer

Oxford Pet Whisperers – Start: ASAP

About the Role

Join Oxford Pet Whisperers (OPW) as an Apprentice Dog Care Assistant, an immersive, hands-on opportunity to build a serious career in canine care and training. This isn't about cuddles; it's about developing professionalism, expertise, and real-world skills that set you up for long-term success.

Why This Role Stands Out

Earn & Learn: You'll be employed while training toward the Level 2 Animal Care & Welfare Assistant Apprenticeship, combining structured qualification with practical experience.
Tailored Learning: You’ll train across four core areas - Health, Safety & Legislation, Animal Health & Welfare, Animal Accommodation, and Feeding & Nutrition.
Personalised Pathways: Choose specialised routes like Interaction & Handling, Rehoming, Working Dog Handler, and more, allowing your journey to reflect your interests and OPW’s needs.
Formal Certification: Complete your apprenticeship over 12–18 months (minimum 12 months) and conclude with an End-Point Assessment - a mix of practical tests, written reflection, and oral discussion - to earn your qualification from Keits

What We’re Looking For

Genuine Passion for canine care and training, not just loving dogs, but driven to understand how to train and nurture them professionally.
Career-Minded Attitude: This role is a stepping-stone, not a stopover. We expect ambition, resilience, and the desire to grow with us.
Hard Worker with Realistic Expectations: This is physically demanding and fast-paced. If you're ready to learn fast and stay focused, you'll thrive.
Adaptable and Independent: Learn quickly, apply feedback, and work autonomously within our structured routine.

What You’ll Do

Support mixed roles across dog training, handling, grooming, and enrichment.
Assist with customer service - check‑ins, check‑outs, and retail feedback.
Maintain the centre’s high standards through cleaning, upkeep, and daily routines.
Participate in structured play and training sessions - not just observing but leading.
Learn from experienced trainers, eventually helping onboard new staff.

Training & Development

You’ll receive:

On-the-job training in professional canine care, behaviour, body language, and basic grooming.
Formal instruction through the apprenticeship framework, including remote and face‑to‑face learning.
Structured milestones, employer assessments, and progress reviews, culminating in a formal evaluation via the End-Point Assessment.
A personalised learning path, based on your chosen specialisation (with keits)(e.g., Working Dog Handler, Animal Interaction, etc.).

What We Offer

Specialist training grounded in real-world canine management and welfare.
Modern, comfortable facilities - indoor spaces, outdoor garden, staff kitchen, rest area, shower room.
Free on-site parking, supportive team, and a relaxed, high-standard environment.
Clear career progression - opportunities to specialise in specific training or behaviour once probation and certification are complete.

Requirements

Live within a 30-minute drive of OPW.
Early starts (from 7:30 am) and the stamina to stay active all day.
Professional, well-presented, with good English and focus.
Comfortable working independently while upholding structure and standards.
Willing to complete a DBS/police check and provide references.
Commitment of at least 12 months - this is for people serious about career-building.

How to Apply

Please submit both your CV and a cover letter - applications without a cover letter won’t be considered. In your letter, please address:

Why you want this apprenticeship - and why you believe you're a great fit.
Your availability or any scheduling restrictions.
If you’ve applied before, explain why we should reconsider you.
Any relevant experiences or motivations you’d like us to know.

About Us

We're a small, family-run business, specialising in combining dog daycare with professional training. Since launching in 2018, we’ve focused on helping 30-40 free-roaming dogs each day become confident, well-mannered companions in a calm, structured, and caring setting.
