About the role

The role involves caring for the animal population, providing daily essentials, enrichment, and grooming, as well as guiding clients through adoptions and surrenders with compassion. Join a mission-driven team at one of New England's leading animal welfare organizations; receive base wages, holidays, retirement plan, and pet-care benefits as part of a supportive environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
