AddressGreyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) is the statutory authority responsible for regulating, conducting, and promoting the sport of greyhound racing and greyhound welfare in our state.
The sport generates $643 million in economic activity, returns over $75 million in prize money, rehomes more than 2,600 greyhounds, and directly involves over 17,000 people.
Our vision is “Victorian greyhound racing is a vibrant, entertaining and thriving sport with animal welfare at its heart”. The integrity of the sport and the welfare of greyhounds are both significant components of the strategic objectives of GRV.
We’re looking for one casual Kennel Attendant to join our motivated GAP team at Seymour.
If you love dogs, and are excited to work hands on with greyhounds, this hands-on role is for you!
You will ensure all daily greyhound needs are met including feeding, watering, cleaning kennels, exercising, and providing enrichment activities such as structured play, training, and behavioural reinforcement.
Our greyhounds will show their appreciation by providing cuddles and kisses each and every day.
Fun fact! Looks can be deceiving… our greyhounds can weigh up to 40kg, so you must be physically fit, and comfortable to handle large dog breeds. Training on safe handling will be provided.
Our team works every day from 7:30am to 4pm, with weekday and weekend rosters available. We kindly ask that you outline your availability in your cover letter.
Due to the nature of our work, our successful candidate will need to hold a valid driver licence.
Let's talk benefits!
When you join our team, you become part of something bigger. We’ll provide you with interesting and rewarding work, helping greyhounds to find their forever home, with ongoing professional development, alongside work-life balance to seal the deal.
We support our people with access to free and fun events such as Midsumma Pride March and the Royal Melbourne Show, free onsite parking, free corporate uniform, and animal friendly workplaces.
We offer competitive pay, with this position classified as grade 1 under the GRV Employee Enterprise Agreement which attracts an hourly rate of $25.92 + casual loading.
