Job Overview
Are you passionate about animals, committed to public service, and looking for meaningful work where you can make a difference every day?
Join the Tallahassee-Leon Community Animal Service Center and become part of a team dedicated to providing humane care to animals while serving the people of our community.
This position involves specialized work in the care, handling, and sheltering of animals held custody at the Tallahassee-Leon Community Animal Service Center. The role requires strong animal-handling skills, knowledge of animal behavior and small-animal care, excellent customer service skills, and an understanding of animal center and kennel operations and maintenance.
This position is unique in that employees are trained and expected to work effectively in both the kennel and front office. Team members must be comfortable balancing and prioritizing responsibilities in both areas, transitioning between hands-on animal care and public-facing customer service as needed.
As part of our team, you will help provide care and humane sheltering for nearly 5,000 animals each year, while also assisting residents with more than 50,000 animal-related service requests annually.
This requires employees who are adaptable, compassionate, professional, and comfortable working with both animals and people. The ability to multitask, manage changing priorities, and provide quality service in both areas is essential. Proficiency with computers and the ability to learn and use a variety of systems are also important to the success of this role.
