Job description

Job Summary

This is not a casual "play with dogs all day" role. You will actively facilitate structured routines, supervise low-arousal enrichment, support clean transitions, and maintain medical-grade facility hygiene. We operate on calm confidence, clear boundaries, and low-stress handling.

What You’ll Do

• Supervised Enrichment & Rest: Guide dogs through puzzle setups, scent games, structured downtime, and decompression sessions.
• Low-Arousal Handling: Manage small, structured groups, lead walks, and support arrival/departure handovers with composure.
• Sanitation & Hygiene: Execute daily deep-cleaning, disinfection routines, crate upkeep, and spot sanitation to maintain a pristine environment.
• Vigilant Observation: Monitor subtle body language, stress indicators, and physical health, escalating any changes immediately.

What We Look For

• Calm Demeanour: You naturally bring steady, grounded energy rather than high-pitched excitement.
• High Attention to Detail: Strict adherence to safety protocols (double-door discipline, crate latches, gear checks, sanitisation steps).
• Physical Stamina: Comfortable on your feet, outdoor walking in humid weather, cleaning thoroughly, and lifting up to 15–20 kg when required.
• Commitment: Able to commit reliably to fixed weekly shifts for at least 6 months.

Bonus Advantages (Not Required):

• Canine First Aid & CPR certification.
• Prior professional or volunteer experience in a veterinary clinic, shelter, grooming salon, or structured boarding facility.
• Basic knowledge of canine body language and positive reinforcement principles.
