GRSA is seeking a committed and personable individual to join our animal welfare compliance team, based at Angle Park.

Support education regarding welfare and care obligation of licenced persons.

Respond and coordinate responses to reports received in relation to possible animal welfare issues and concerns.

Maintain animal welfare documentation and databases by recording retirements, euthanasia, deceased and location changes within the industry to optimise greyhound population traceability.

Support administration of welfare funding support schemes such as Track Injury Rebate, Sterilisation and other retirement ready support.

Perform out of competition swabs; urine swab or hair sampling, and swab interviews, as requested by stewards.

Working alongside Integrity with risk assessments, investigations and penalties as required.

To be considered for this role you will preferably have:

Previous experience in a racing, animal welfare or compliance driven setting.

Demonstrated understanding of quality, compliance, and regulatory processes.

Understanding of welfare’s role in supporting the greyhound racing industry.

Well-developed interpersonal and communication skills.

A solution-focused mindset and the ability to make considered decisions.

Ability to work calmly in emotive and challenging environments.

Sound MS Office skills.

A current Police clearance completed within the past three months.

A valid Australian driver’s licence (required).

A level of medical and physical fitness sufficient to be able to perform the inherent requirements of the role.

This position is offered on a permanent, full-time basis and may have a requirement for intrastate travel and some out of normal working hours availability including weekends.

What We Offer:

You will join a team that is committed and passionate about the greyhound and dedicated to ensuring the sustainability, integrity, and success of racing in South Australia. We love our dogs, and we are looking at attracting quality people who will share this mindset. We offer genuine career pathways within an industry that is as dynamic and as fast-paced as the beautiful greyhounds it is built upon. Ready for a career in the fast lane? Apply now.
