Hey Acacia Lodge friends,
Do you know someone thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely experienced with pets who’d be a perfect fit for our team?
We’re on the lookout for a Kennel Assistant to join us here in Londonderry, NSW. This is a hands-on role at our boutique boarding facility, caring for furry guests with heart, structure, and high standards.

Ideally we are looking for someone with hands-on experience in a pet care environment such as a kennel, cattery, veterinary clinic, or grooming setting. We need someone who is confident working independently and also great in a team.

• Greeting clients and handling guest drop-offs and pick-ups
• Observing wellbeing and behaviour, and keeping the team informed
• Creating a calm, consistent experience for both pets and their humans 🐾

💰 Pay & Perks:
• Starting rate of $25/hour

✓ Have your own car and can help with our Pet Taxi service 🚗
✓ Have professional grooming experience ✂️
✓ Bring practical dog training or behaviour experience
