The RSPCA is looking for an Animal Care Assistant for their Bryn-y-Maen Animal Centre. This role involves caring for rescued animals, maintaining their accommodation, and ensuring their well-being. Ideal candidates should have experience with animals, strong communication skills, and the ability to work in a team. Join this dedicated team to make a real difference in the lives of animals!
Our Bryn-y-Maen Animal Centre (near Colwyn Bay) is situated in the countryside with lovely sea views and surrounded by open fields and woodland, which provide a wonderful location for the rehabilitation of the animals.
The centre has 30 kennels, 36 cat pens, 18 rabbit pods and 4 ferret pods, as well as room for small animals, farm animals and wildlife.
Caring for such a vast variety of animals means that staff have to be knowledgeable, as they never know if a tiny mouse or a chicken will be the next visitor through the door!
Working hours: 28 hours per week. Shifts are between 8.15am to 4.15pm, including some weekends and some bank holidays.
Interviews will take place on the 31st July.
We think this role's going to be popular and are expecting to attract high interest so we strongly encourage early applications to avoid missing out - closing date is the 7th July.
This is an exciting and challenging opportunity at the largest animal welfare charity in the UK as an Animal Care Assistant.
Our Animal Care Assistants are responsible for the care and rehabilitation of animals who have been rescued from cruelty, abuse and neglect.
You'll start your day cleaning the animals' accommodation,as well as feeding and watering them, and then start the daily exercise routine. It can be physically hard, but also very rewarding and satisfying work knowing the animals are comfortable and happy when you are finished.
Our Animal Care Assistants ensure the highest standards of welfare, and will monitor and report on animal behaviour, wellbeing and health. You will also administer medication or treatment prescribed by a Vet, and implement behaviour modification programmes with guidance from our Behaviour and Welfare Advisors and the wider team.
Once the animals in our care are ready for their forever home, you will be involved in the adoption process, helping to find the perfect matched home for the animal you look after. You'll also meet with potential adopters to provide post-adoption advice and support.
Join our dedicated team for this amazing and rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to an animal's life!
