Hatteras Island Pet Resort has an immediate opening for an Animal Care Technician. We are currently looking for 15-20 hours a week, with 30+ hours a week in the summer and the potential for year-round full-time employment for the right person. Availability at least one weekend day (Saturday and/or Sunday) is a must. Pay starts at $15/hour.
Requirements:
- 18+
- Valid Driver's License
- Reliable Transportation
- Ability to lift 40+ lbs unassisted
- Ability to remain calm under pressure
Preferred:
- Customer Service Experience
- Experience working with animals
- Availability 1-3 evenings a week
The work environment is loud and sometimes smelly, and you will need to be on your feet a lot, including spending time outside in heat, cold, and rain. There is always laundry to do and dishes to clean, as well as animal messes to clean up. You may have a boisterous dog knock you off balance once in a while. This is a physically and emotionally demanding job.
For all that, though, it really is such a rewarding job! We are a fun-loving, silly group of people who treat each other like siblings and treat our guests like our own pets. We look forward to welcoming you into our pack!
