To succeed in this role, you will need:

- Ability to work one weekend day and public holidays as required.

If you are passionate about animal care and have the resilience and dedication required for this challenging yet fulfilling role, we would love to hear from you.

**Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou: What We Offer**

Join us in making dogs a positive part of Auckland life. We will provide you with training on the Dog Control and Impounding Acts and offer you the opportunity to contribute to the care and control of dogs while delivering outstanding customer service. This role is a chance to help achieve our vision for Auckland to be a world-class city.

Become part of our Auckland Council's Animal Management team, where we work across Auckland’s diverse communities to minimise harm and nuisance from dogs and other animals. We provide essential services such as dog registration and raise public awareness of responsible dog ownership.

This role will report to the Shelter Manager.

Applications close 25 November 2024.
