Boarding Assistant

Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia BB Vet Co Full time $40,000 - $60,000 per year

WANTED: Full-Time Boarding Assistant (Hard Workers Only – Must Love Drool)

Do you:

· Talks to dogs like they're people?

· Can tell the difference between a happy tail wag and a "I just ate something I shouldn't have" wag?

· Totally fine with fur on your clothes, slobber on your face, and a cat judging your every move?

Then congratulations—you might just be our new Boarding Assistant

We're Mount Hutton Pet Hospital, a small animal veterinary clinic with a cozy, well-loved boarding facility, and we're on the lookout for someone who's ready to roll up their sleeves, grab a leash, and dive into the joyful chaos of pet care.

This is a full-time gig—but here's the sweet part: just 4 days a week. That means three days off to recover, relax, or de-fur your clothes (we won't judge).


What You'll Be Doing (a.k.a. More Than Just Belly Rubs):

  • Feeding, walking, and loving on our boarding dogs and cats (sometimes other critters too—we don't discriminate).
  • Cleaning kennels, litter boxes, food bowls, and the occasional... surprise.
  • Monitoring the health and behavior of each pet (you'll become a poop-analysis expert in no time).
  • Giving baths, brushing coats, and occasionally dodging the world's slipperiest wet dog.
  • Supporting the veterinary team when needed—yes, you may be asked to help wrangle a particularly dramatic chihuahua.
  • Keeping things organized, sanitized, and running smoothly like a well-trained pack

What You'll Need:

  • Animal lovers with a strong work ethic and zero fear of cleaning supplies.
  • Someone with the stamina of a border collie and the patience of a golden retriever —this job is active, hands-on, and involves lifting, bending, walking.
  • Reliability. Our four-legged guests depend on you to show up, every time.
  • A good sense of humor (because poop happens).

Bonus points if:

  • You've worked in pet care before (kennels, shelters, vet clinics, etc.).
  • You can name at least 3 types of dog poo by texture (we're only half-joking).
  • You don't mind a barking soundtrack while you work.

What You'll Get:

  • Full-time hours packed into 4 days a week
  • Endless furry affection (and some judgmental stares from cats).
  • A fun, supportive team that works hard, plays hard, and genuinely loves what we do.
  • Employee discounts on veterinary services and pet supplies.
  • Real-world experience in animal care

Ready to Join the Pack?

Shoot us a message with your resume and a short note about why you're the paw-fect fit. Bonus points for pet puns, but don't overdo it—we're professionals. Mostly.
