Job description

Pawsome Pathways provides dog walking services within Leighton Buzzard, Milton Keynes, and surrounding areas. Due to our rapid expansion, we are looking for our first employee!

Summary:

  • Major growth opportunities
  • Casual work attire
  • Flexible working hours

Work availability:

The position will consist mainly of working over the weekend and possibly afternoons/evenings during the week. However, as we are growing quickly, there is also the possibility of working weekdays too, depending on your preference and the needs of our clients.

The hours you will work will be flexible and based on the needs of the clients, however, we will work to ensure that these also suit your needs.

Job Description:

  • You will be expected to be able to walk up to, and no more than, four dogs at one time.
  • For social walks, you will need to transport the dog(s) in a vehicle safely.
  • You will be expected to provide your own poo bags and dog treats (treats must be approved by Pawsome Pathways prior to use), but Pawsome Pathways will provide leads.
  • You may be required to perform home visits, which may include animals other than dogs (if you are inexperienced with certain species, Pawsome Pathways will assist you with these).
  • You may be required to enter homes with keys provided when owners are out.
  • You will be self-employed under Pawsome Pathways.
  • You will be required to work in various weather conditions, including rain, snow, wind, and sun, although some walks may be adapted due to weather conditions for the safety of dogs.

Person Criteria:

Essential:

  • You must have an up-to-date DBS check or be willing to secure one (we can help with this).
  • You must be able to walk big/strong dogs and walk long distances.
  • Hold a full UK driving license.
  • Have access to a vehicle with work insurance.
  • You must have good verbal and written communication skills.

Desirable:

  • Experience working with dogs in any setting.
  • Customer-facing experience.
  • Qualifications relating to animal care, welfare, behaviour, or science.
  • Willing to advertise Pawsome Pathways via magnetic ads for vehicles (provided by Pawsome Pathways).

Pay:

Pay will be based on how much you earn through the walks, not by hours worked. The prices for walks vary between £6 to £12 for one dog (full details can be viewed on the Pawsome Pathways website).

Pawsome Pathways will take 12.5% in royalties off of each month's pay.

Uniform:

  • Pawsome Pathways will provide you with two T-shirts for dog walking that you will be expected to wear within reason.
  • Trainers, wellies, or boots are recommended for comfort and safety.
  • Open-toed shoes are not allowed.
  • Trousers, shorts, or skirts are acceptable, but do be mindful that dogs may jump up and you may get scratched.
  • Pawsome Pathways employees are expected to maintain a smart-casual appearance as you will interact with clients.

Job Types: Full-time, Part-time, Permanent, Zero hours contract
