We are looking for a permanent member of staff to join the team here at Amberlea Country Kennels and Cattery.
The applicant must have experience with caring for all types of dogs and cats within a kennel/cattery environment, and be able to handle both with confidence and compassion. Customer service is an essential part of the role, so good communication and good phone skills will be needed. Making bookings and dealing with payments is another aspect of the job, so the candidate must be computer literate.
Being able to work as part of a team and also independently is important, and a person who is forward thinking and works to their own initiative will fit this role well. The job is very physical and involves busy days on your feet, so you must have a good level of health and fitness.

Due to our location it is essential that you have your own transport, or live very locally.
Please apply with a cover letter outlining why you will be suited to this role. CV's with no cover letter will not be considered. Especially if the CV is totally irrelevant to the animal care industry.
