Enthusiastic cat caretaker wanted

Job Description
We’re looking for an enthusiastic cat caretaker to join our cat department team! Do you have a strong sense of responsibility and a love for animals? In this versatile and rewarding position — at the oldest and (almost) largest shelter in the Netherlands — you’ll be responsible for the daily care of our cats and kittens. While caring for them, you’ll also be able to spot medical concerns and take action in consultation with our veterinarians.

This is a 36-hour-a-week position. You’ll work together with colleagues on a fixed schedule from Monday to Sunday. Working hours are from 08:00 to 17:00.

Do you have…
At least an MBO-level diploma in animal care or paraveterinary studies, or are you a fast learner?
Affinity with the shelter world (e.g., as a volunteer or intern)?
A positive attitude toward cleaning tasks?
Strong communication and social skills, and are you great with customers?
The ability to work both independently and in a team?
No problem working weekends?
A good command of Dutch, both spoken and written?
A driver’s license and access to a car if you live outside The Hague (within a 40-minute commute)?
What We Offer
A meaningful and dynamic role where you play an important part in the connection between our cats, customers, and colleagues. You’ll work alongside many dedicated volunteers and have access to a fully equipped in-house clinic with two veterinarians.

Starting salary: €2,202 gross per month, based on a 36-hour week. Travel expenses are reimbursed according to our standard policy.
