Job opening immediately or by agreement

From now on or by agreement to complement our growing team, we are looking for an additional and flexible person for the daily animal care, care and employment of our dogs at the teaching and research station of the Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich. The Vetsuisse Faculty of Zurich is primarily working on new or improved veterinary treatment options for various diseases of dogs. The findings are in many cases directly applicable in veterinary practice. At the heart of our work is the animal welfare of dogs. We keep the dogs in groups, with regular exercise in the garden. We have an established employment and training program. All processes follow clear guidelines and instructions for action, which must be followed and documented.

Tasks

The tasks include basic animal care of the dogs, including daily care / employment of the dogs, cleaning / maintenance of the kennel and garden complex, if necessary support in the training of the animals and ongoing trials, including detailed logging work. This not-everyday job is looking for a similar person who would like to develop further in a groundbreaking company and contribute to the team. A driver’s license and a private car must be available, as dog ownership is not accessible by public transport. The station is located in the Zurich Airport / Winterthur catchment area in the Canton of Zurich.
