Ty Gwyn Pets is North Wales' leading pet care company, having won Best Pet Boarding Facility in North Wales for two years in a row, and in 2024 won Google's Number One Pet Boarding Company in Wales. What helps to make Ty Gwyn so great is their wonderful team, and they are looking for a new member to join us.

Ty Gwyn comprises of dog, cat and small animal boarding, a doggy daycare, a pet shop, grooming salon and training clinic. The role will vary across all aspects of the company, so a versatile, 'can-do' attitude is essential. The job includes a lot of outdoor work in all weather conditions, and involves cleaning out dog and cat units, feeding all animals, supervising playtimes, bathing animals, serving customers in the shop, taking orders and bookings, answering the phone and administering medications.

We have up to three positions available, and we are flexible on hours. Ideally, we are looking for someone who would like around 20-36 hours a week and is prepared to work every other weekend. Typically, our full-time staff work 8am-6pm four days a week, but we are happy to offer part-time hours.

Candidates must have:

- A diploma in animal management or other relevant qualification (for placements we can accept students who are currently studying an animal related qualification)

- A full UK driving licence and access to their own vehicle (please don't apply if you are unable to drive as there is no public transport to our location and further down the line, driving our van will become an essential part of your role)

- A friendly and confident nature. We are a close-knit team and we have strong relationships with all of our customers, so you must be happy to get stuck in!

Other desirable traits include:

- Previous experience working with animals (or in another outdoor setting)

- Canine/feline first-aid qualification (we have an on-site training clinic so we can qualify you here if you aren't up to date)

- Customer service experience.

- Life saving/guarding qualification

As a company, we are continuously striving to grow as a team as well as growing as a business, and with this in mind, we pay a lot of attention to developing the skills of our team. Any long-term career goals you may have in the pet/animal care sector would be something we would love to hear about and support.

If you feel like you meet the above criteria, we would be delighted for you to apply. Please note that due to a high volume of applications, we will be unable to respond to unsuccessful candidates.
