Animal Shelter Attendant

Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia Full time
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We have an exciting opportunity to join the Environmental and Regulatory Services Team as a casual Animal Shelter Attendant. Our animal shelter keeps lost, stray, and abandoned animals safe until their owners are found. We aim to rehome all animals that are surrendered or not reclaimed by their owners after the required legal impound time period.

On a typical day, our Animal Attendants will:

  1. Assist in the provision of a professional shelter facility;
  2. Assist customers both in person and over the phone;
  3. Assist in a wide range of enquiries, help pet owners meet legislative requirements, and provide advice/education as necessary;
  4. Assist in animal management, including animal care, transportation, microchipping, returning animals to owners, rehoming, and euthanasia;
  5. Maintain accurate records, registers, and databases.

To be successful in this role, you must be:

  • Resilient - while we do lots of amazing work in the community rehoming and reuniting animals, we also have to make tough decisions, including euthanasia when animals are suffering, dangerous, or capacity is exceeded;
  • Confident in dog handling - we deal with many large dogs requiring firm handling. Experience with an animal snare pole is advantageous;
  • Pro-active - this role requires working alone at the shelter;
  • Willing to undertake a pre-employment medical/full functional assessment due to the nature of the role.

Remuneration and Benefits

Employment type: Casual

Salary (exclusive of super): Casual hourly rate of $37.29 (including 25% casual loading)

Benefits:

  • PPE provided
  • Flexible work arrangements - hybrid working and flexi-time
  • Discounted gym membership through Fitness Passport
  • Career development opportunities
  • Annual salary increases as per the Local Government (State) Award 2023, plus annual reviews
  • Long service leave after 5 years

  • Salary packaging options through Salary Packaging Australia and Maxxia
  • Recognition through annual awards celebrating staff achievements
