We are looking to appoint two part-time Animal Care Assistants to join the dedicated team at our busy Chesterfield Animal Centre where we rescue, rehabilitate and rehome around 350 animals each year.

- Completing accurate paper and electronic records and forms.
- Providing a high level of customer service and professionalism to visitors to the Animal Centre.
- Helping match animals to potential adopters, answering queries, giving advice on the care and welfare of animals and dealing with the intake and rehoming process.
- Positively promoting our animal welfare work, participating in income generation activities and helping raise the profile of charity.
You will need to have strong interpersonal and communication skills, enjoy active work and be capable of working both as part of a team and independently. It is important that you have a positive, flexible attitude and are good at prioritising your workload.
