What are the responsibilities and job description for the Kennel Manager position at Midwest Animal Hospital?
We are looking for a dedicated, motivated, organized and inspirational team leader to take care of our animal care team! Do you love teaching your pet handling skills, veterinary medicine knowledge, and time management skills to your team? Are you passionate about teaching, leading, and inspiring a team to provide amazing pet care and work together to achieve team goals? If so, this is the position for you!
The responsibility for the animal care team manager is to direct, supervise, and assist all of our animal care team in providing the very best patient care to all of our adorable dogs and cats and make sure they have the very best home away from home. Our animal care attendants provide for every want and need our furry patients have, making sure they get walked and fed, their kennels are cleaned, they have freshly laundered blankets to snuggle, and they are safe, healthy, and loved while their parents are away. Attention to detail is crucial, as our animal care team records all of the daily habits of each pet that stays with us, and monitors them for any concerning changes or emergency situations that need to be addressed by our treatment team.
We are looking for our team manager to foster a culture of respect for all team members and animals. We work with each other and help each other to ensure each animal receives the best care possible. Teamwork, positive support, and respect are vital to this mission. Our team manager is responsible for supervising all aspects of the boarding facility and administrative and personnel management of the kennel staff and kennel shift leaders. This leadership position sets the example for all hospital staff to follow in animal care. They should have general veterinary medical knowledge to ensure standards of care are followed for patient care. The kennel manager must have exceptional client service and communication skills, and confidence to deal with stressful situations and difficult pets, employees, and clients.
If you join our team, you will be working in a collaborative and supportive environment where everyone wants their team members to succeed! Everyone is fully committed to a respectful environment where team members are treated equally, someone is always there to lend a helping hand, and every animal receives a little extra TLC. If you’d like to join our team, please submit an application and if we feel like you’d be a good fit, we will contact you to schedule an interview!
