Full job description

London Dog Club is a leading Doggy Day Care centre based in Chessington. We are a small business with around 15 employees. Most importantly, our dogs, clients and staff are at the heart of what we do! We are currently recruiting for a Dog Day Care Driver & Carer based in C*lapham or closely surrounding areas, such as Wandsworth, Fulham, Battersea, Brixton, Kensington, Chelsea, Earls Court, Hammersmith or Shepherds Bush. *

Residing in one of these areas above is a must! Please specify where you reside when making your application. If this information is not provided during your application - unfortunately you will not be shortlisted.

Are you passionate about dogs? Do you enjoy providing the highest level of customer care? If that sounds like you, then we want to hear from you.

Excellent rate of pay, fun working environment, and full training provided!

What does a typical day look like?

  • You will start the day by driving your van, fitted with secure dog crates to collect our clients’ dogs from their homes. You will carefully drive them to our daycare centre based in Chessington. You will collect dogs from postcodes within South West London.
  • You are responsible for supervising the dogs throughout the day, keeping them safe, happy, stimulated, fed, watered and cool etc.
  • Provide exceptional care for the dogs in your care
  • Administer medications or treatments as instructed by pet owners
  • Maintain a clean and safe environment for dogs at all times
  • Monitor dogs for any signs of distress or illness and report to Daycare Manager
  • Following our daily enrichment programme with the dogs, including treat work, basic cues and obedience training, redirection, and scent games.
  • Pitch in with the day-to-day tasks that come with working at a day care centre that will involve cleaning (very important in a daycare environment) and also scoopin’ up the poop regularly!
  • Washing and drying dogs ready for their return home
  • Set down the daycare site, washing bowls, cleaning paddocks and equipment etc.
  • Then it is home time! You will drive the dog’s home, back to their owners and finally clean your van at the end of your shift.

Who are we looking for?

You are passionate about animal care. You do not necessarily need to have had prior professional experience though, as we will provide training for the right candidate. However, animal-related experience and/or qualifications would be an advantage.

You will be part of a close-knit group of dog lovers, so being a good team player is essential.

You are an exceptional driver. Previous van driving experience is not essential but you should certainly be confident and capable driver. You must have held a full driving licence for a minimum of 2 years and have a full clean UK licence.

You will not be afraid of the great outdoors, regardless of the weather – come rain or shine, hailstones, or snow. You are physically capable to handle dogs of all sizes. This is a role predominantly outdoors throughout the day.

You should be great with customers. You will be face-to-face with many of our lovely clients when you pick up and drop off the dogs, so a charming disposition and being able to speak good English are essential qualities.

You will need to have common sense, be extremely reliable and an excellent time keeper, as a must!

In return, we can offer you:

Take full advantage of our in-house Canine Training Programme

Gain a recognised qualification in Canine Husbandry (PIF Certified Qualification)

First Aid qualification (Certified Qualification)

Plenty of E-Learning courses available to you

20 days paid leave. Plus, no work at the weekends!

Overtime available!

The opportunity to work with lovely dogs in a happy environment.

If this sounds like the job for you, please send us your CV and – just as importantly – a covering letter explaining why dog care is the right industry for you. If you sound like our kind of person, we will be in touch asap. The next step would be a telephone conversation, followed by a face-to-face interview and driving assessment.
