The SPCA Roussillon is a charitable organization whose mission is to help animals in distress, without owners or neglected. We offer animal services for a territory of 27 municipalities in the area. We welcome families from all over Quebec and surrounding provinces to our adoption center, which enabled more than 1,200 animals to find families last year.

We are looking for someone to join our team as a Kennel caretaker and patriller. This person will work mainly with the dogs we welcome at the shelter (stray, abandoned, etc.) and on the road.

Description of tasks:

• Maintenance in kennels, clean and disinfect enclosures on a daily basis, according to our biosecurity protocols (free training when you start)
• Feed the dogs, make sure their daily exercise is done and that they have everything they need for their comfort.
• Provide them with the best possible quality of life during their stay at the shelter
• Make various calls on the road (territory covered by the SPCA Roussillon) to rescue and bring back to the shelter stray, injured or deceased animals.

Skills that we are looking for:

• Respect for all animals and concern for their well-being
• Comfortable working near domestic and wildlife animals
• Availability to work full time, including every other weekend
• Availability to make emergency calls a few evenings/nights a week (bonus for being on call and for each trip)
