Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Club Fetch Newcastle Full time

**(must attach CV)**

**£11.42 per hour - Zero Hour, Part Time**

**Wages will be paid weekly on a Saturday evening.**

Dog Walking opportunity with flexible working hours. Working individually as part of an excellent team, covering West end of Newcastle areas, within a supported role with opportunities for personal development.

You will be required to walk groups of between 6-9 dogs and pick up and drop off each of them. Therefore, you must have a full, clean driving license and a suitable large vehicle for transporting dogs.

You will only ever walk a group of 6 dogs when out in public and anything above this you will be scheduled to take them to a secure field. Our dogs range from as small as Daschunds to as big as Great Danes, so full confidence working with all dogs of all sizes is essential. You will need to clean down all dogs after the walks, if required with towels provided.

Walking locations will be provided and will vary therefore you will require an up to date Sat Nav. We walk in all weather conditions come rain or shine and you will be expected to do so to be accepted for this role.

Some of our dogs have issues like anxiety and can be nervous when being introduced to the pack. You will need to be patient and understanding and will be trained on how to handle these clients. But a general understanding of dog body language and behavior is essential because of this.

You will have an average amount of hours each week but you will need to be flexible to take on additional hours as and when required. How often this happens as well as for how long a duration will be random and can not be predicted, hence the need for full flexibility.

You will be on a zero hour contract but as already stated above you will have an average amount of hours each week. The reason for zero hour contracts is due to the nature of the business, holidays, cancellations, Christmas, school holidays etc.

We only operate between Mondays and Saturdays, your working days will vary and you will be required to work Saturdays on occasion.

We have our own private/secure field which we host puppy parties at and you will be required to host some of these parties when required. Which will be paid at your hourly rate and these parties are held in the evenings anywhere up to 8pm on weekdays and on Saturday mornings/afternoons anywhere as early as 9am, with each party lasting only 1 hour in total. We also run adventure day walks on Saturdays as and when we decide and you may be required to cover some of these.

You will be fully trained prior to going out alone and covering all the above. Training will be a total of 2/3 weeks with the first week being unpaid, due to the fact you will only be shadowing.

**There is a 6 month probationary period included with this role.**
- Up to date, clean DBS certificate
- You may be required to cover and host events held at our private field which will be paid at your hourly rate, which can run in the evenings anywhere up to 8pm & start as early as 9am
- Full/Clean UK driving license
- Access to a vehicle that you’re willing to transport 6-9 dogs in
- Experience working with dogs in a previous role
- General understanding of dog behavior and body language
- Fully flexible and willing to take on additional hours if/when needed.
- Fully confident in handling all breeds and sizes of dogs
- Great time-keeping skills
- A calm and confident yet when needed firm personality.
- A genuine interest in dogs, their behavior and care.
- Availability to work between the hours 8am and 8pm at least 3 weekdays & if/when required up to 6 weekdays.
- Up to date Sat Nav
- Physically fit and active as the role is demanding
- You will be required to monitor the dogs behavior whilst out with them & report anything back to management immediately, if you have any concerns.
- You may be required from time to time to attend meetings with potential new clients in the absence of management, which you would be paid under your hourly rate for.
- Full confidence letting up to 6 dogs off lead in a none enclosed area
- Ability to use your own initiative and be quick thinking
- Hold a high level of common sense
- Ability to work well under pressure and have patience in high pressure situations
- Happy to work in all weathers and seasons
- Live within or close to the West end area of Newcastle
