Passionate about enhancing the welfare of dogs? Do you want to empower owners and other animal welfare professionals?
We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Animal Behaviourist to join our community clinical animal behaviour team.

About this role:

As Community Clinical Animal Behaviourist, you will:

Provide specialist behaviour consultations for dogs with behaviour problems, including human directed aggression.
Liaise with the dog guardian and provide followup support to help keep the behaviour modification plan on track.
Deliver behaviour services, clinical consultations and assessments through inperson and virtual means.
Complete all necessary paperwork associated with running behaviour consultations, including writing reports and liaising with referring veterinarians.
Provide support to our mentorship programme, which aims to develop the next generation of behaviour experts, and act as a mentor throughout the organisation, assisting in the professional development of behaviour specialists and Dogs Trust staff towards national standards of accreditation in clinical animal behaviour.
Play an active role in designing, assessing, and delivering education material.

This is a full-time home-based opportunity, with frequent visits across a designated region.

About you:

With an animal behaviour or welfare qualification at degree level or above you will have a thorough, in-depth knowledge of dog behaviour, training and welfare.

Ideally, you will be accredited as a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB) with CCAB Certification Ltd or as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council, acquired CCAB Pre-Certification, or have qualifications and clinical experience of an equivalent standard.

What does this team do?

The Community Clinical Animal Behaviour team, sits within the Clinical Behaviour Services department, and provides an affordable and accessible route for obtaining professional and qualified behaviour support services for dog owners across the UK.

Operating in areas where there is limited access to appropriate, qualified behaviour support, and/or where the capacity of established private clinical animal behaviourists cannot meet demand, the team plays a vital role in preventing the escalation of unwanted behaviour issues.

The team's aim is to work with and educate pet guardians about their dogs' behaviour and provide practical interventions to prevent relinquishment to rehoming charities and euthanasia.

Why Dogs Trust?
We love dogs. That's why we do whatever we can to make sure every four-legged friend gets the love they deserve.

We'll never put a healthy dog down, so our work is focused on helping dogs in need, supporting their owners every step of the walk, and creating a better world for dogs in the future.

It's what we've been doing since 1891 and how we've grown to become the UK's leading dog charity, helping 12,000 loyal friends find their forever homes every year.

In return for all of this, we have an enticing benefits package, which includes excellent annual leave, pension allowances, Perkbox, and you will you join a team of highly professional and driven colleagues in a brilliant upbeat and collaborative environment, all with a genuine passion for dogs

Interview will take place on Tuesday 23 April 2024 and Monday 29 April 202- Southwest Hertfordshire
