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. What makes a great Animal Care Assistant Experience working with animals, 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 cruelty. Willing to undertake practical work outdoors in all weather.

Able to multitask and work under pressure - working with animals can be busy and unpredictable! Comfortable with using IT - you'll be keeping computerised records on the animals under your care. We are located in a rural area with limited public transport. It is therefore important you have your own means of transport to travel to and from work. Final note from us & good luck with your application! We are really lucky that some of our roles attract a high level of interest and for this reason we review applications as they are received, unfortunately on some occasions this means roles may close earlier than advertised; so early submissions are highly recommended. We do try to give feedback where we can but sometimes due to receiving high levels of applications, this may not always be possible We recognise that a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential to achieving our core mission. For this reason we actively encourage a wide diversity of applications - in particular from members of minority ethnic groups, and people with disabilities - as these candidates are currently under-represented at the RSPCA.
