**What a day might look like for you**

This is an exciting and challenging opportunity at the largest animal welfare charity in the UK as an Animal Care Assistant.

Our Animal Care Assistants are responsible for the care and rehabilitation of animals who have been rescued from cruelty, abuse and neglect.

You'll start your day cleaning the animals' accommodation,as well as feeding and watering them, and then start the daily exercise routine. It can be physically hard, but also very rewarding and satisfying work knowing the animals are comfortable and happy when you are finished.

Our Animal Care Assistants ensure the highest standards of welfare, and will monitor and report on animal behaviour, wellbeing and health. You will also administer medication or treatment prescribed by a Vet, and implement behaviour modification programmes with guidance from our Behaviour and Welfare Advisors and the wider team.

Once the animals in our care are ready for their forever home, you will be involved in the adoption process, helping to find the perfect matched home for the animal you look after. You'll also meet with potential adopters to provide post-adoption advice and support.

Join our dedicated team for this amazing and rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to an animal's life

**What makes a great Animal Care Assistant?**
- Experience working with animals, ideally in a Kennel or Cattery environment, either through paid or voluntary work (not including your own pets).
- Resilience - many of the animals in our care have been victims of neglect and/or abuse and cruelty.
- A strong desire to help our rescued animals have a future.
- Excellent communication and team working skills - you'll be working with colleagues across the RSPCA, volunteers and members of the public.
- Able to multitask and work under pressure - working with animals can be busy and unpredictable
