- To conduct health and welfare home visits and external appointments to support our stakeholders.
- To run health and welfare related workshops and inputs to stakeholders.
- Keep up to date health and welfare records on the dog’s progress.
Although the core hours for this role are 9am to 5pm there will be a degree of flexibility required to meet the health and welfare needs of the dogs which you support.
