Overview

Animal Care and Welfare Assistants look after the routine day to day husbandry and care of domestic and/ or wild animals under guidance in a variety of different settings. The work is carried out individually or as part of a team in places such as Dog Groomers kennels and catteries, etc. Animal Care and Welfare Assistants must have a strong work ethic and be prepared to work irregular hours. They must maintain safe working practices and take responsibility for themselves, animals in their care and others.

Our animal care assessors are all qualified dog groomers, and as such are able to tailor the animal care apprenticeship to cover the dog grooming industry.
