Blackberry Farm boasts 20 rehoming kennels and 34 cat rehoming pens, providing a safe haven for animals in need of new loving homes.
Additionally, the centre features a small animal house to cater to various creatures. Not only do we offer spaces for rehoming, but we also have dedicated kennels for case animals that require long-term care and attention. Dogs at the centre get the opportunity to stretch their legs and have fun in the exercise field, as well as refine their agility skills in the training barn.
Furthermore, the centre extends its care to small farm animals, with two stables and a field shelter to accommodate them. This holistic approach ensures that animals of different sizes and needs are looked after with compassion and dedication.
**Working hours**:35 hours per week, between 08.30-16.30 on a shift basis including some weekends. There will be days off in the week to compensate.
What a day might look like for you
An exciting and challenging opportunity at the largest animal welfare charity in the UK as an Animal Care Assistant.
Our Animal Care Assistants are essential to the care, rehabilitation and eventual rehoming of animals who have been rescued from cruelty and neglect. You'll start your day cleaning by the enclosures of our intakes, ranging from dogs, cats, rabbits and other small domestic species, as well as feeding, watering, grooming and exercising them.
You'll 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'll work with potential adopters to assess their suitability and provide post-adoption advice and support.
