Position Overview

Our Non-Profit is seeking a compassionate, dedicated and reliable animal care technician who is experienced in caring for cats and birds with medical needs. Caring for our animals and keeping them safe, clean, happy and healthy is a priority at our sanctuary located in the Disney area. Our animals will be with us for the duration of their lives and we are seeking someone who will bond with them and enrich their daily life. Due to the fact that many of our animals have health issues that would deem them not adoptable, we are looking for team members who are as dedicated to their care and well being as we are. Some of our residents require daily grooming, others need daily medications or blood glucose checks. Keeping their environment clean is of the utmost importance, so our perfect candidate will not mind cleaning up after cats and birds. If you have experience in feline and avian care, we want to speak with you! This part-time position does require weekends and some evenings, and will average 20 hours per week. This is a long term, part-time position that offers competitive pay and a great working atmosphere. If you feel you are the right person for the job, send us your resume and tell us why!
