Join Brisbane North's leading dog daycare
Barkley Park is expanding with our new transport service — and we're looking for an exceptional human to drive it.

This role is more than just driving. You'll be the first face our dogs (and their humans) see each morning, so we need someone who loves dogs, knows how to handle them confidently and safely, and can create a warm, professional experience from driveway to daycare.

About the Role

  • Operate our fully equipped, automatic-transmission Barkley Bus (custom-fitted for dog transport)
  • Pick up and drop off dogs from a single or multiple North Brisbane locations (routes may vary)
  • Greet customers warmly and professionally — you're representing the Barkley Park brand
  • Ensure all dogs are transported securely, calmly, and safely
  • Maintain the van to the highest standards of cleanliness and care — treat it like your own (but please note: the van remains on-site at Kedron overnight)
  • Work approx. 6 hours/day (AM pickups and PM drop-offs), with potential for growth
  • Communicate proactively with the Barkley Park team throughout the day
  • Follow all Barkley Park procedures, safety protocols, and animal handling guidelines
  • Champion a safe, clean, and professional transport environment at all times

What You Bring

  • Dog handling experience is essential — ideally from daycare, grooming, training, or similar
  • A full, clean driver's licence
  • Confidence driving a large automatic van
  • Calm, confident, and friendly personality — with dogs and their owners
  • High personal accountability — you take pride in your work and your vehicle
  • Excellent customer service and interpersonal communication
  • A genuine alignment with Barkley Park's values: Community, Care, Communication, Safety and Pride.

Additional Requirements

  • Must be willing to undertake a pre-employment medical
  • Must agree to abide by Barkley Park's policies and standards at all times
  • The Barkley Bus must be returned to Kedron at the end of each shift

Bonus Points For

  • Familiarity with the Brisbane area
  • First Aid or Pet First Aid Certification is preferred
  • Experience working independently and managing your own schedule

Why Join Barkley Park?

  • Be part of a growing, purpose-driven business with a loyal customer base
  • Work with a team that genuinely cares about dogs, people, and doing things properly
  • Supportive leadership, structured systems, and clear communication
  • Flexible and family-conscious scheduling
