Full job description

Kennels & Cattery Assistant – Please Read Before Applying

We are looking for a reliable and hardworking person to join our team caring for dogs and cats in a busy kennel and cattery environment. This is a zero hour position with a minimum of 1 day a week with potential to increase. Hours are 8:00am – 4:30pm (including a 30 minute unpaid break)

This is a hands-on role that involves physical work and a strong commitment to animal welfare. The animals in our care rely on us every day of the year, so reliability, punctuality and a positive attitude are very important.

The Role

We care for a large number of dogs and cats daily, and the role involves supporting their daily routines and maintaining a clean, safe environment.

Responsibilities include:

Cleaning kennels, runs and litter trays to maintain high hygiene standards
Feeding and caring for dogs and cats
Exercising dogs and supporting their daily routines
Handling dogs of different sizes and breeds
Working outdoors in varying weather conditions
Speaking with customers both in person and on the phone
Supporting the team during busy periods

The role can be physically demanding and involves being on your feet for most of the day, but it is also very rewarding for someone who enjoys working with animals.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who is:

Reliable and punctual
Hardworking with a proactive attitude
Comfortable with physical work and being on their feet for much of the day
Confident handling dogs, including larger breeds and strong dogs
Friendly and confident when speaking with customers
A team player who is happy to help wherever needed

Because the animals depend on daily care, it’s important that applicants are dependable and committed to their scheduled shifts.

The Best Part

This is a very rewarding role for someone who genuinely cares about animal welfare. Many of our guests are regulars and it’s lovely to see them return and build bonds with them over time. You’ll be joining a supportive team that takes pride in providing excellent care.

Hours

This is a zero hour position with a minimum of 1 day a week with potential to increase. Hours are 8:00am – 4:30pm (including a 30 minute unpaid break)

Please note we are not on a public transport route so you must be able to drive

Essential Experience

Previous experience with dogs
Good customer service and confidence speaking on the phone
A positive attitude and strong work ethic
Ability to work proactively in a busy environment

Job Types: Zero Hour
Pay: £10.85 - 12.71 per hour
