Love dogs? Are you customer focused? Do you want to make a difference to dog owners in your community and improve dog welfare?

We are looking for people from all kinds of backgrounds who are passionate about working with owners to understand the best way to train and form the strongest bond possible with their four-legged friends. You will be working alongside and under the supervision of the Head Coach and Senior Coach to provide dog training classes to the general public.

Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity and normally cares for around 14,000 dogs across its network of 21 rehoming centres in the UK and one in Dublin. Dogs Trust has a non-destruction policy and will never put a healthy dog to sleep.

Dog School plays an essential part of achieving positive change in the community; aiming to prevent the development of problem behaviours in dogs which may lead to relinquishment or euthanasia. Our teams provide positive, high quality, welfare friendly advice on dog training and behaviour during our fun, educational classes. Using only reward-based methodology, the Dog School aim is that each dog leaves the school with the ability to follow basic cues and behave well in everyday settings.

Working alongside, and under the supervision of the Head Coach and Senior Coach, you will help to organise and teach a minimum of 15 dog training classes per week (both online and in-person) to the public, where necessary providing support on 1 to 1 basis to participants who may be struggling with specific training elements. You will also assist with all administrative duties and, acting as a Dogs Trust ambassador, you will promote Dog School in the local area through networking with relevant local businesses and targeting potential local events.

To join us you don’t need experience of training dogs as we have an excellent development programme for all new starters. We are looking for people who are passionate about teaching others and delivering excellent customer service. You must be flexible, confident and have strong communication skills alongside commitment to bettering the lives of Dogs.

We want our coaches to be empowered and able to lead classes and work alone in the future, therefore we provide lots of opportunities for ongoing development. All team members are developed towards their APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) assessment and ongoing membership is paid for. We also offer comprehensive training packages focusing on Dog Training, Customer Service, Presentation Skills, and Media training to help you make a difference. Did we also mention that there is loads of scope for progression into Senior Coach and Head Coach positions?

So, if you want to make a difference to your local community and are interested in working in a dynamic forward-thinking team at the forefront of dog welfare where you will have opportunities for furthering your skills with continuing professional development, we would love to hear from you!

At Dogs Trust we value diversity and we're committed to creating an inclusive culture. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, abilities and cultures and believe that a diverse workforce will help us to achieve our mission.
