Dog Warden
We are proud to be supporting this long established Company that specializes in the humane handling of stray dogs and manages all kinds of pest control from wasps to rat and insect infestations.
The Company is now seeking a new Dog Warden who lives around the Baldock area - 10 mile radius ideally.
You will be driving around the local area to Baldock in Hertfordshire.
A full, clean driving licence obtained at least 3 years ago, is essential for this role.
The Company operates on a shift basis and is open 365 days per annum including Christmas day.
The successful candidate will work 4 X 10 hour shifts per week, some including weekend work as required.
Shifts:
1. Day shift – 9am till 5pm
2. Mid shift – 9am till 7pm
3. Night shift – 4pm till 4am (only to cover for when the night staff are on holiday)
Primarily, the role will entail the collection of stray dogs, which can involve taking the dogs to kennel facilities and reuniting them with owners. Other responsibilities may include dropping dogs at the Battersea Dog Home or giving them to Foster Dog families. You will also be responsible for calling vets for particular treatment of wounded and sick dogs, and sometimes it may lead to the termination of the dog’s life if it is in a very bad way. All involve meticulous reporting and the completion of forms for local councils, which are audited.
Full training is provided, but you will learn to manage very frightened dogs that may be aggressive and hard to control. You will also look after their welfare at the kennels, settling them in, feeding, and keeping the kennels clean and ready for new visitors at all times.
Minimum Requirements:
1. The ability to work 4 x 10 hour shifts per week with 3 days off, including weekend working as required.
2. Must hold a full licence with 3 years driving experience, ideally of driving a light commercial vehicle.
3. Must be IT literate with experience on tablets & PCs, and have Microsoft Office experience, mainly Outlook & Excel.
4. Must be able to work on own initiative and problem solve.
5. Experience of working with animals, specifically dogs, ideally with kennel and/or veterinary nursing experience and a genuine interest in dogs.
6. Physically fit as you will be lifting dogs and dog crates onto vehicles.
7. Ability to provide flexible working within the day, mid, and night shift, where necessary, on a rota basis.
8. You will need to be able to pass a DBS check.
This is a temp to perm position. A commercial vehicle and uniform are provided, based from the offices in Slough. Basic pay is £12 per hour with a shift bonus allowance once training is completed; salary will then increase to £14.30 per hour. Additional shift and performance allowance is provided.
This role is immediately available. Unfortunately, we cannot accept candidates who do not have a full UK manual driving licence with 3+ years driving experience or who have allergic reactions to bites and stings (although this is avoided).
Interested? Then apply NOW!! We will be in touch shortly!
