Animal Care Technician
3 days ago
We've been changing minds, laws, industries and lives to create a better world for animals and people alike. A key part of our work is delivered by our dedicated Animal Rescue Officers (ARO), and we are excited to announce new openings for ARO positions across England and Wales.
Could you be the change in an animal's life?
What a day might look like for you
Our AROs play a critical role at responding to reports of animal cruelty, neglect or injury. You will work proactively to prevent or reduce the incidence of animal cruelty and neglect through interactions with members of the public, sharing knowledge through education and advice to owners.
This role requires a strong commitment to animal welfare and the ability to handle challenging situations with empathy and professionalism.
There is no typical day in the life of an ARO, but you can expect to work closely with people and animals everyday, offering the opportunity for a career that is both varied and rewarding.
You will encounter upsetting and stressful situations involving animals and their owners, so you'll need to be able to make decisions and take action in the moment.
You'll offer advice and support and work with other agencies to secure the welfare of animals. This may mean having challenging conversations with confidence to ensure the best outcome is achieved for the animal(s) and all concerned.
The ARO role allows you to work autonomously as you'll spend a large part of your day on the road visiting unfamiliar remote and urban locations alone.
The work can also be physically demanding as you'll be lifting and carrying heavy equipment and animals, as well as working at height, in confined spaces or even on water We will provide full training to ensure you can carry out your duties safely and effectively.
There are not many people who have a career that they are passionate about, but being an ARO means you'll be addressing animal welfare needs and creating an opportunity for them to have a better life on a daily basis.
For more information, you can also refer to the attached job description.

Final note from us and good luck with your application
For information on the full recruitment process please see the attached document. We recommend you make a note of the awareness session, assessment and interview dates.
We are really lucky that some of our roles attract a high level of interest, and for this reason we review applications as they are received. Unfortunately on some occasions this means roles may close earlier than advertised, so early submissions are highly recommended.
We recognise that a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential to achieving our core mission. For this reason we actively encourage a wide diversity of applications, in particular from members of minority ethnic groups, and people with disabilities, as these candidates are currently under-represented.
