We are seeking an experienced and passionate Rehabilitation Trainer to assist with the behavioural and welfare assessments of dogs in our Rehoming Centre.
Dogs Trust is the UK's largest dog welfare charity and normally cares for around 14,000 dogs across its network of 21 rehoming centres in the UK and one in Dublin.
Our rehoming centres house thousands of dogs each year until they are able to find a loving new home and the success of our centres wouldn't be possible without our dedicated team of staff and volunteers; there is a real family-community within each of our centres.
Come rain or shine, our team are out in all weathers to make sure the dogs have the best possible life.
Dealing with thousands of visitors each month, our rehoming centres are the face of Dogs Trust and we pride ourselves on our staff providing the very best in customer service.
Working under the direction of the Training & Behaviour Adviser (TBA), assistant TBA and management staff, the Rehabilitation Trainer will take responsibility for the practical implementation of training and behaviour modification programmes devised by the TBA or assistant TBA, and supervise other Canine Carers in ensuring the optimal welfare of dogs in the centre.
The post holder will also supervise and support the work of Canine Carers and occasionally may be required to take an active part in Canine Carer duties.
Experienced in training a variety of dogs (breeds, ages and temperaments) and with a strong understanding of positive reinforcement training techniques, you'll have a good understanding of dog behaviour, including the ability to read canine body language, facial expressions and vocalisations, and understand how these relate to the emotional state of dogs.
An excellent communicator you'll be just as comfortable liaising with potential adopters and customers and will be highly organised with the ability to adopt methodical approaches to working practices and record detailed information.
You should also be committed to the aims and objectives of Dogs Trust and a full, clean, manual driving licence, as driving will be a part of the role.
