position available for a pet shop assistant; this is an eight-hour day, 5 days a week and does
include weekend work
on a rota basis.
Driving licence and car preferred,
as well as a good foundation of both
animal and retail experience
is required including
cash handling and customer skills.
The most important attributes that we are looking for are a good work ethic, reliability, flexibility, excellent communication and time management skills, a good amount of common sense with the ability to work alone to a high standard, a passionate interest in all animals and an enthusiasm to learn more about them.
As well as caring for a wide range of livestock, you will also be responsible for maintaining data records relating to the pet shop licence, so a familiarity with Excel spreadsheets would be useful but not essential.
The salary is the minimum for your age group, and this will increase as training is completed.
You will be required to work a
four day trial
to fit around your current employment commitments, so that you (and us) can assess if this is the right position for you. Please do not apply if you are not willing to carry out the trial as it is non-negotiable.
This is also a position that requires candidates to be
physically fit
as you will be on your feet for most of the day, and will need to transport 20kg sacks when unloading deliveries. It can get very busy in store, so you must be able to
work under pressure.
