APPLICATION FORM

If you have any questions about working for Fed & Watered or about the application process, please email us: job@fedandwatered.co.uk

CRITERIA FOR ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must:

Must have a variety of experience in caring for domestic pets, whether paid or voluntary (unpaid)

Never have been banned from owning pets, never been charged with harming an animal, and will be CRB checked at the applicants expense (about Ł23)

Drive their own car or unmarked van to and from each job. Employees cannot use bikes, public transport or taxis to take sick or injured pets to a vet in an emergency. Animal ambulances are very rare and expensive, and they can take crucial hours to arrive, so you must have your own vehicle and applicable driving licence to cover this eventuality.

Have a computer, an internet connection and printer at home (to access our management system and to receive confidential and sensitive information in complete privacy)

Possess a working mobile phone which is carried with them at all times when working

Be able to read, write clearly and legibly, communicate politely and be well-presented

Be able to supply three references - employment, pet care and character - which will be taken up and validated

HOURS OF WORK & PAYMENT

All positions are part-time. Staff are only paid for the work that they do rather than on a fixed salary basis. Assignments are offered when bookings are requested, so earnings will vary according to an employee's availability and current demand. Employees have complete control over the volume of work they decide to take on, but should be aware that there are seasonal highs and lows in demand. Employees are free to accept or reject assignments that are offered to them.

In caring for our customers' pets, employees are required to make single or multiple visits each day to the customer's house where the animals are kept. Timings and a visiting schedule are discussed in advance so employees can assess whether they are available to accept an assignment. Assignments usually require employees to work (if only for 30mins) on consecutive days for an agreed period - sometimes a weekend, sometimes several weeks. If applicants are completely unavailable on any one day of the week, they will only be able to accept short assignments as we require the same person to do all of the visits. Nobody is forced to work any continuous duration without their agreement.

We pay a fee per visit rather than an hourly rate - this varies to account for the different tasks involved and how much time is needed to complete them. Fees are well above the equivalent National Minimum Wage and are discussed at the time an assignment is offered.

Employees are paid once every calendar month on the 1st working day, direct into the employee's bank account.
PET CARE EXPERIENCE
Although professional pet care experience and qualifications would be a distinct advantage, they are not necessary as we provide training. However, applicants must be able to demonstrate extensive pet care knowledge and experience either as a pet owner or on a paid or unpaid basis, and must have a responsible, caring attitude. All employees are trained and monitored, and must be willing to improve their pet care knowledge and learn additional skills at their employer's request.
HOW WE WORK
When a customer makes a booking request, we check staff availability in the area and then offer the work as an assignment to someone who is close by. If the member of staff is able to do the assignment, they accept it either verbally or electronically. We then allow that employee access to the information they require to carry out the assignment. The employee logs into our management system from their home computer to view the information. Full training is given about how to complete all the tasks that are required. These include pet care, plant care and simple home security enhancement measures.
