What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an animal-focused role where I can deliver safe, high-standard care and support successful rehoming. I want a team environment that values communication, responsibility, and continuous learning.

I’m a Dog Warden and Animal Carer with a strong work ethic built from working since I was 16. I’m trustworthy, reliable, and I enjoy progressing—especially when the role demands both teamwork and independence.

In my recent roles, I maintained high cleaning and health standards in kennel environments, supported safe health checks with vets, and delivered consistent daily care, feeds, exercise, and medication. I also kept detailed behavioural and health records, identified when animals needed more in-depth training plans, and communicated with managers, teams, and the community to find the right loving homes.

I’m fully grasp(er) pole trained, able to handle stressful situations calmly, and practiced in reuniting lost and stray dogs or guiding the rehoming process safely. I also bring customer-facing strengths from retail and shop assistant work—clear communication, payments handling, and maintaining a positive, respectful experience for people under pressure.
