Full job description

Do you have a natural affinity for animals and a passion for exceptional pet care? We're growing our team at Yorkshire Paws & Co's luxury boarding and grooming facility, and we're looking for multiple Animal Care Assistants to join us.

We're open to candidates with experience in any one of our service areas — cattery, dog boarding, or grooming — but if you're an all-rounder who can confidently work across all three, you'd be the perfect match.

At our 5-Star Licensed site, we offer spacious, purpose-built accommodation for both cats and dogs, along with a dedicated grooming salon — all designed to provide a calm, enriching environment where every pet feels relaxed and at home. Our team delivers personalised care, regular wellbeing checks and individual attention that reflects each pet's personality and routine.

Key Responsibilities (across one or more of the following areas, depending on your experience):

Provide compassionate daily care for cats in our luxury cattery
Support dog boarding routines, including feeding, exercise, enrichment and overnight wellbeing
Assist with grooming services, including bathing, drying, brushing and supporting our professional groomers
Maintain high standards of hygiene and cleanliness throughout accommodation, communal spaces and the grooming salon
Monitor and record pets' health and wellbeing, reporting any changes promptly
Support feeding routines and administer medication where needed
Engage pets with gentle interaction and enrichment appropriate to their comfort level
Assist with customer interactions, drop-offs and collections when required

We're Looking For Someone Who:

Loves working with cats and/or dogs and understands animal behaviour
Has experience in cattery care, dog boarding, or grooming — ideally one of these, with multi-discipline experience being a real bonus
Is reliable, patient, and attentive to detail
Enjoys working as part of a collaborative team and is comfortable working alone
Can deliver calm, consistent care in a busy boarding and grooming environment
Has good communication skills for internal teamwork and client enquiries

The Perfect Match:

While we're recruiting for multiple roles and welcome applications from specialists in any one area, our ideal candidate is a true all-rounder — someone who can move confidently between the cattery, the kennels and the grooming salon, supporting wherever they're needed most.

What We Offer

A supportive and professional environment
The chance to make a real difference in the lives of pets and their owners
The opportunity to develop skills across boarding, cattery and grooming services
Work with a team that values high standards and compassionate care

Location: Wakefield, West Yorkshire (Topcliffe Close, Capitol Park) Hours: 40 hours per week (including some weekends and bank holidays). Full-time and part-time options available depending on the role.

If you're excited about joining a caring team in a premium boarding and grooming environment and helping pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away, we'd love to hear from you.

Experience:

Animal care: 2 years (required)

Licence/Certification:

Driving Licence (required)

Work Location: In person

Pay: £12.71 per hour
