Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Kip Full time

**Kip Brunswick**:
**Position: Animal Attendant**:
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 more dog mad, 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
- 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
- Our team leaders often have the opportunity to visit similar sites to understand how we operate across Kip, network with teams and learn/share ideas from peers
- 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 animal handling experience at all)

**Extra perks**:

- You receive generous staff discounts on shop items and on our boarding and daycare services (where applicable)
- We have an incentive program for our team leaders to earn bonuses based on performance and an Employee Referral Program where you can earn up to $3000 per person for recommending exceptional people to onboard with Kip Happy Stays
- We have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that provides confidential counselling and support to all employees
- 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)
- Form strong bonds and find long term friendships with humans who have similar passions and interests

**What are the responsibilities of the role?**
- Supervising groups of dogs and managing their behaviours to maintain overall wellbeing and safety
- Providing canine enrichment through play and scheduled activities
- Implementing daily leadership and training activities
- Frequent cleaning and upkeep of facility
- Building and maintaining rapport with our dog owners through daily feedback and transparency
- Creating and distributing media content for our dog owners through videos and photos

**What are the minimum requirements?**
- Available to attend a work trial shift (unpaid)
- Able to be confident and handle larger breed dogs
- High level of communication and empathetic in nature
- Able to work long days, on your feet, in a high pressure environment
- A passion for, strong desire to learn, or aspiration to continue your development with canine behaviour and training

**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)
- Available Monday to Friday

**Further details**:

- Shifts are 6.45am-12.45pm and 12.30pm-6.30pm
- Adult hourly base rate begins at $21.38 and increases to $22.77 after 3 months
