Job Title: Pet Care Hero
Location: Wigan, UK
About Us: Pet Nurse Services Wigan is a trusted provider of in-home veterinary and pet care services. Our mission is to improve animal care in the UK by offering convenient and compassionate veterinary care directly in clients' homes. We are expanding our team to meet growing demand and are looking for a dedicated ‘Pet Care Hero’ to join us in Wigan.
Job Description: As a Pet Care Hero, you will be responsible for providing high-quality pet care services during home visits. This includes, feeding, cleaning, cuddling and generally checking-in on client pets whilst their owners are away.
You will represent our brand and ensure the well-being and happiness of pets in their familiar environments.
The number of visits will vary from week to week, and are usually split into morning and evening slots, so this is a very flexible option that someone could work around other commitments.
Responsibilities:
• Conduct pet visits as scheduled, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. (timings of visits are flexible)
• Perform tasks such as feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing companionship.
• Ensure the safety and comfort of pets during each visit.
• Communicate with pet owners to provide updates and address any concerns.
• Maintain accurate records of visits and services provided.
Requirements:
• Must have your own car and be willing to travel to pet visits.
• Must be comfortable handling and caring for various types of animals.
• Must be trustworthy and able to represent our brand professionally.
• Must be reliable and dependable, ensuring timely visits.
• Must be flexible with scheduling to accommodate clients' needs.
• Must be local to Wigan or nearby areas.
You need to be an animal lover to be considered for this role. We deliver such a high standard of care that only someone who loves animals could truly thrive in this role. We are not simply there to put food in a bowl or change a litter-tray … we are there to ensure the pet is comfortable, safe, and loved whilst their owners are away, and also to give the owner absolute peace of mind that their pet is in the safest of hands.
The first visit for each client will be accompanied by a veterinary nurse, and then subsequent visits for that pet would need to be done solo, so we require someone with integrity and reliability as well as a love for animals.
Compensation:
• Opportunity to earn approximately £20 per hour – although hours will vary week to week.
• Mileage reimbursement to cover travel costs/time.
How to Apply: Please email louise@petnursewigan.co.uk – Full CVs aren't really necessary (although please send if you have one), but some background on why you think you would be suited for this role would be welcome.
The next stage would be a bit of an informal chat covering any questions you have about the role, and checking everything is a good fit from both sides.
