If you have a TRUE passion and love for dogs and want to work outdoors, then this is the perfect job for you. This is not for the faint hearted and is certainly not a stroll in the park. The role requires an extremely energetic, fit and agile person who thinks on their feet and does not tire easily as there are a wide variety of tasks involved in caring for the dogs and their surroundings. It is also a requirement to keep on top of the tough cleaning duties on a daily basis. This includes daily cleaning up after the dogs, mopping floors, putting the washing on and of course very regular poo picks! Another requirement for the job is helping to maintain and upkeep the premises, set in two acres of woodland and countryside, so someone with labouring/gardening and general outdoor working experience would be beneficial.
This job will is full time. Occasional Overnight weekend stays are required at our day-care/home boarding farmhouse in Millington, in-between Altrincham and Knutsford.
This role may involve some driving around collecting and dropping off dogs, so a clean driving licence would be required. We are looking for someone with experience of working with or handling dogs.
We operate in all weathers so you must not be phased by any adverse weather conditions, be prepared to get wet and muddy, but also in the summer get a tan!
This job is not your run of the mill job and is very rewarding and lots of fun! However, picking dogs up, walking them and caring for them, can be physically demanding and you will need to be fit and able to adapt to any situation.
If you wish to apply for this position please ensure you include a covering letter in the messages or by email, telling us why you feel the job is right for you.
Applications without a covering letter do not tell us a lot about how interested you really are in the job and will therefore not be considered.
