Dog Handler Sheffield
Job description
Avaliable Job Today Paws to Play is a canine creche, providing day care and socialisation for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. We are dog fanatics and we strive to provide the highest level of care for all the animals in our care. We are looking for an experienced dog handler with a passion for dogs, to work with our dedicated team every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and alternate Mondays.
The main aspect of the job is to interact with and supervise groups of dogs, keeping them mentally and physically stimulated, whilst also monitoring their body language for signs of tiredness, stress, anxiety etc. For this reason, please only apply if you have experience of working with groups of dogs.
Obviously with many dogs comes a lot of mess, so cleaning up dog waste is an essential part of the role!
Part of the job also involves covering reception, which includes checking dogs in and out, taking payments, taking bookings, answering the phone and replying to emails. You would also be expected to give feedback to clients on their dog’s behaviour, so knowledge of breed traits and related behaviours would be advantageous.
The ability to edit and update social media and to use a camera phone will be needed daily so basic social media skills will be required.
The ideal candidate will have experience working with groups of dogs and will be confident and knowledgeable in handling dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. A qualification in dog or animal behaviour would be beneficial, and good customer service skills are essential.
If you think you fit the above criteria, please send your cv with a cover letter to [email protected].
