• Strong attention to detail and confidence with computer systems
• A calm, caring, and proactive approach
• A genuine enthusiasm for helping people and their pets
• 32 hours per week — days and times can be discussed

In addition to a competitive salary, you will benefit from:

• 6.6 weeks annual leave
• Additional annual leave for your birthday which will be added to your holiday allowance
