ABOUT THE ROLE
We have an exciting opportunity for an Animal Attendant to join our Levin Centre on a casual, as and when required basis.
As an Animal Attendant, you will be the human our animals rely on while they are in our care. This role is rewarding, fulfilling, and essential—but it can also be physically demanding and emotionally challenging. You’ll see both the best and the hardest moments of animal welfare work, and the difference you make truly matters.
You will ensure all animals in the Centre are cared for to a high standard, adoption pathways are maximised, and animal records are kept accurate and up to date. You’ll assist with routine veterinary visits, monitor animal health and behaviour, administer medication, and support enrichment, socialisation, and behaviour modification activities.
You’ll work closely with team members and volunteers to improve animal outcomes, handle adoption enquiries in person, by phone, and online, and collaborate with other departments to ensure animal areas are operating safely and effectively.
