Oadby and Wigston, United Kingdom Leicester Animal Aid Assoc Full time

A rewarding animal care role that supports vulnerable pet owners, living within the districts of Oadby & Wigston and Blaby, with pet care related tasks such as dog walking, basic grooming and transportation for veterinary care.

Working for Leicester Animal Aid's Community Pet Support Scheme within the districts of Oadby & Wigston and Blaby. This is a preventative community outreach initiative and aims to enhance human and animal wellbeing through sustaining the relationship between companion animal and human in the community for as long as it is mutually beneficial. The 24/7 companionship can be seen as an imaginative ‘antidote’ to the modern challenges of social isolation and loneliness.

Applicants would be required to be available to visit clients homes for pre-scheduled appointments between the hours of 8.30am and 4.30pm and able to commit to working 3-4 days each week between Monday and Friday. It is anticipated that this will initially equate to working an average of 6 hours each week with availability to build to an average of 10 plus hours each week. A full driving licence is essential together with unrestricted access to use of a vehicle.

You will need to have domestic animal care experience (predominantly dogs and cats) and an interest/understanding of the mutual benefits arising from supporting the human/companion pet relationship. In addition, we are looking for individuals that have knowledge and/or experience of working with vulnerable adults (the elderly and people with poor physical and/or mental health challenges). Compassion for both animals and humans, reliability, patience and understanding are key to the success of this role.

Staff will be expected to work in accordance with the Charity’s policies (including those relating to data protection and confidentiality and safeguarding vulnerable adults). The information related to both clients and companion animals is confidential and should not be either released or discussed with those outside LAA without prior written consent.

LAA is an Equal Opportunities employer.

A full role description is available upon request.
