Shift: Morning shift (8:30am – 12:30pm), Monday to Thursday

Do you have a soft spot for animals and a desire to make a tangible difference? Are you a tidy, compassionate soul who doesn't mind rolling up your sleeves for a good cause? Join us at Rabbit Runaway Orphanage, where your time and care will directly impact the lives of rescued pet rabbits in need of a second chance.

About Us:

Rabbit Runaway Orphanage is a non-profit, volunteer-run animal rescue dedicated to the health, safety, and rehoming of abandoned and neglected domestic rabbits. Every bunny in our care receives love, medical attention, and the opportunity to find a forever home — but we can't do it without you.

The Role:

As a Volunteer Shelter Attendant, your main focus will be on cleaning and maintaining the indoor rabbit enclosures and ensuring the shelter environment remains clean, tidy and welcoming. You'll also keep an eye on the general well-being of our bunnies and help create a calm, caring atmosphere they can thrive in.

Responsibilities:

  • Clean and sanitise rabbit enclosures and shelter areas (indoor and external)
  • Monitor the general health and behaviour of the rabbits
  • Support the team in ensuring a safe, clean, and organised space for both rabbits and volunteers

Requirements:

  • Aged 18 or over
  • Be reliable and dedicated
  • Able to travel to Olinda, Victoria
  • Able to commit to a regular weekly or fortnightly morning shift (approx. 4 hours, starting at 8:30am)
  • Responsible, mature, and reliable
  • Comfortable with light lifting and bending
  • Vigilant about cleanliness and following protocols
  • Comfortable working both independently and as part of a small, dedicated team

Preferred Attributes:

  • Experience with family pets or in an animal care environment
  • Genuine empathy for animals
  • A curiosity or passion for rabbit health and well-being
  • Good communication skills and a positive attitude

Shift Availability:

Morning shifts only — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

Early risers welcome — earlier start times available by arrangement.

This is a voluntary position, but the impact you'll have is priceless. By donating a few hours of your time, you'll help give abandoned rabbits a clean, safe, and loving environment while they wait for their forever homes.

How to Apply:

If you're ready to be part of something special and make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable animals, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and help us create a better world — one bunny at a time.
