SalaryWe are looking to add more staff to our team in the next few weeks. You should be someone who prefers to work outside, likes long walks with 10-15 friends (dogs of all sizes and ages), would rather mow grass than sit at a desk, thinks dirt is cool, isn't afraid of a little poo or dog hair or drool, prefers dogs over most people, is strong enough to move heavy stuff, is considerate of others, has great work ethics and likes to work as a team.
We are a dog boarding/training/daycare facility on 5 fully fenced acres. We walk dogs (off leash) in groups of 5-20, we do a little training and work on manners, we play a lot. This job can be both physically and mentally demanding, there are a lot of moving parts that need to be constantly tended too. To succeed you must have strength in both areas.
Our schedules are a bit crazy and adjust to the number and energy of the dogs. Our days start at 6am and end at 9pm, shifts are typically 5-9 hours (some 10). We take care of the needs of the dogs as a team so the schedule can change weekly. That said we can work around some things and believe that work/life balance is important. Training starts on day shift but you must be available to work both weekends and evening shifts as well.
Please answer all of the questions, with full sentences, more is better. Please try Not to say its because you love dogs. :) *Also let us know if you are looking for full/part time and any conflicts/schedule needs we should know about and when you would be able to start if hired.
We are not on the bus line so you will need reliable transportation (it's not bike friendly either). We are unable to hire those under 17, if still in school our shifts are a min of 4 hours and you must have weekends availability by summer.
The plan is to start interviews right away and hire within the next two weeks.
Let us know if you have questions
Thanks
