Job description
Forever Hounds Trust has been rescuing, caring for and homing greyhounds, lurchers and other sighthounds for 25 years. At the end of 2020, we purchased our first centre close to Cullompton in Devon where we are continuing our rescue and homing work in our own premises whilst being able to offer some of our dogs the extended assessment and care they need.
We are looking to extend our team and now have an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to make a real difference to the lives of the greyhounds, lurchers and other sighthounds rescued by Forever Hounds Trust each year.

Practical experience working with animals, a keen interest in animal welfare and excellent customer care skills are essential for this role! Candidates will also need a full driving licence.
This role will be advertised until the post is filled.
Please apply by sending your CV and supporting statement to Acting Centre Manager, Sophie via indeed. Applicants invited for interview will be informed by phone or email, if you do not hear back then your application has been unsuccessful.
