Dandenong, Australia Kip Full time

**Kip Happy Stays**:
**Locations: Dandenong South and Moorabbin**:
**Positions: Animal Attendants - Boarding (Casual)**:
At Kip, we provide pets with the best care and enrichment - and have our people to thank for it. We are compassionate caregivers to our four-legged friends and exceptional communicators to their paw-rents. And, we are now on the howl for pet crazy, get-your-hands-dirty-and-your-shirt-furry extraordinaires to join our Kip community.

**Why Kip Happy Stays?**
- Real career pathways for individuals who are looking for more than just a job (with majority of our team leaders having been promoted internally).
- Opportunities for ongoing training to develop and build your animal handling skills, such as pet first aid and pet CPR, canine socialisation online workshops, and/or become an accredited dog trainer through Kip with the National Dog Trainer’s Federation (NDTF).
- Our team leaders have access to further training opportunities, such as human first aid, leadership workshops and a Kip community where ongoing learning is celebrated and shared amongst each other.
- We offer a structured induction program that trains on all aspects of the role that you will need to succeed and feel confident (great for individuals with no experience at all).

**A few more extra perks**:

- You receive generous staff discounts on shop items and on our boarding/daycare services
- We have huge incentives for employees such as rewards for our top performers and an Employee Referral Program where you can earn up to $3000 for recommending extraordinary people to join our company.
- Form strong bonds and find long term friendships with humans who have similar passions and interests.
- Contribute to providing a high level of service and care that you can genuinely be proud of (and don’t forget the daily pet cuddles).

**Duties and responsibilities**:

- Provision of food and water for pets in care
- Health checks and general animal husbandry
- Supervising groups of dogs and managing their behaviours to maintain overall wellbeing and safety
- Providing enrichment through play and scheduled activities
- Frequent cleaning and upkeep of facility to maintain a high level of hygiene and safety
- Building and maintaining rapport with our pet owners through feedback and transparency
- Creating and distributing media content for our pet owners through videos and photos

**Key requirements**:

- Must be available on weekends and school holiday periods
- Must be driven and have a strong work ethic as the role can be challenging and physical
- Must be attentive and have a great attention to detail
- Must work well in a team environment
- Must be able to follow routines, policies and procedures
- Previous experience working with animals is preferred

**What's the best way to be shortlisted?**
- Include a cover letter outlining why you are best fit for the role (if you have no animal handling experience, we'd love to know how your current skillset can transfer)
- Open to working across Kip centres in Melbourne including our daycare facilities
- Available for a minimum of 4 days per week Monday to Sunday

**Further details**:

- Casual Adult (over 21) hourly base rate starts at $26.73 and increases up to $28.46 after 3 months
