Are you passionate about animals and experienced in managing a busy, customer-facing environment?

We are seeking a dedicated and responsible Cattery and Kennel Assistant Manager to assist with the daily operations of our high-quality pet boarding facility.

At Abalee we believe furry family members deserve a safe and secure home away from home. We know firsthand that pets miss their owners a lot while they’re away, which is why we provide pets with a super cosy, warm, and friendly space for them to stay active, be themselves, and have access to their own privacy if that’s what they choose.

You will work with a small team of four dedicated fellow animal lovers, receive on the job training. You’ll work an average of 20 hours per fortnight, have flexibility, and receive $31-$35 per hour.

The successful candidate will:

• Have previous experience with pets and pet care;
• Have previous leadership experience;
• Provide a friendly and professional point of contact for pet owners, handling bookings, queries, special requests, and cash payment (all accounts receivable and payable are handled at our head office in Perth – so this is not a requirement);
• Assist with the care, feeding, and well-being of all pets, ensuring that all animals are safe, healthy, and comfortable during their stay;
• Ensure the premises are maintained to a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene at all times;
• Maintain accurate records for each pet, including medical histories, feeding schedules, and any special requirements.

Key requirement:

• Experience: Previous experience in animal care or management, ideally within a kennel, cattery, or pet-related business;
• Leadership: Effective leadership and team management skills, with the ability to motivate and supervise staff effectively;
• Communication: Excellent communication and customer service skills, able to build positive relationships with both clients and team members;
• Organised: Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks, and prioritise responsibilities;
• Flexibility: A willingness to work weekends or public holidays, as required in a 7-day operation.

If you are a responsible, compassionate individual, looking to join a supportive and passionate team, we would love to hear from you!
