Form of workGreyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) is the statutory authority responsible for regulating, conducting, and promoting greyhound racing and welfare in our state.
The sport generates $600 million in economic activity, over $3 billion in wagering, returns $60 million in prize money, 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.
A fur-tastic opportunity for you
We’re looking for one casual Kennel Attendant to join our motivated GAP team at Tullamarine.
If you’re looking to work hands on with greyhounds, this role is for you.
You will ensure all daily greyhound needs are met including feeding, watering, cleaning kennels, exercising and providing enrichment activities.
Our greyhounds will show their appreciation by providing cuddles and kisses each and every day.
While experience working in an animal shelter plus post-secondary studies in animal care/welfare will provide a solid base, it’s your knack for building relationships and working with others that will ensure your success. If you have a Victorian driver license, that is desired.
Fun fact! Looks can be deceiving… our greyhounds can weigh up to 40kg, so you must be able to handle large dog breeds in a safe manner.
Our team works every day from 7:30am to 4pm, with weekday and weekend rosters available. Please outline your availability in your cover letter.
Let’s talk benefits
When you join our team, you become part of something bigger. We’re all here to make a difference and have fun along the way. 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 2023 - 2024 which attracts a base salary range of $52,231 to $54,872.
