Things to consider

This role has a two months probationary period before you start the on-line study.

You must have your own transport to get to our location.

Working with animals is an all-weather task. Many tasks are repetitive but still require a high standard at all times. Shift work including weekends and bank holidays is not optional.

You must also be self motivated and take pride in your own work. Having a good work ethic and being reliable is also essential. In addition, we are only looking for people who have a genuine interest in and affection for dogs of ALL shapes and sizes.
