Old Windsor, United Kingdom Battersea Dogs & Cats Home Full time

Battersea Old Windsor's cattery is looking for someone to join the team as a Rehoming & Welfare Assistant, to provide the highest standard of animal husbandry, care and enrichment to the cats in our care, and ensure that they are ready for rehoming as quickly as possible through observing and recording insightful behaviour observations, forming temperament assessments and ensuring animal records are up to date.

They will be part of a passionate team that cares for every cat through their journey at Battersea, from a calm and compassionate intake, to providing feline friendly care whilst they are onsite, and finally to rehoming them to loving new homes.

Please note that this vacancy is based at our Old Windsor centre.

Working with our dogs and cats:
We are here for every dog and cat. Within our operational roles, this means providing the highest level of care and husbandry to our animals. Every day will be different and will sometimes involve emotionally challenging situations.
