**The person**:

The role requires someone who has a good eye for detail and is customer facing, so a confident person with good communication skills is required.

**Skills & Competencies**:

- Previous experience working with dogs in a Kennel environment is advantageous.
- A strong desire to work with and understand dogs and the ability and knowledge to provide for their physical and mental wellbeing.

- Ability to project a calm assertive energy.
- Ability to multi-task and to remain calm under pressure.
- Self-motivated and capable of acting on own initiative.
