About you
While working with dogs sounds like a lot of fun (and it is!) it is also a very demanding job physically and mentally. We are looking for people who would love to become part of a team, who can work both with others and independently. You must be extremely quick on your feet and fast thinking, with the ability to multitask – we have to be able to improvise and adapt to whatever the dogs throw at us on any given day

We need someone who isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty as there is A LOT of cleaning.

We would love someone who is proactive, outgoing and energetic! 
We are looking for someone who would love to have the opportunity to grow and learn with us, with the flexibility that will be needed working with dogs and outdoors.

You MUST be a lover of all dogs! No matter the size or the breed!
If you are put off by smelly odours, slobber, loud noises or poop, unfortunately this is not the job for you.

Professional experience in the animal industry is NOT essential for this position, but being enthusiastic, friendly, eager to learn, being extremely reliable and have great customer service is a must! Training is provided on the job including several short courses on dog behaviour and dog group management.

We are only open Monday-Friday so no weekend work!
There is the potential that split shifts would be needed to make up hours.
Shifts beings offered are between 7:15am-6:30pm.

Send through a cover letter and resume to ****@dogsdayoutdaycare.com.au addressing all applications to Kate, with the subject line of “Doggy Daycare!" specifying your availability. Applications sent via SEEK will not be considered and unfortunately only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
