    We’re looking for a full-time Animal Welfare Counselor to join our open-admission, for-all animal shelter. Being a “for-all” shelter means that SPCA Tampa Bay does not limit admission or refuse to take in a pet. As part of the operations team, you’ll have hands-on experience working with a wide variety of species!

    What You’ll Do:

    Provide care for shelter animals including cleaning, feeding, and watering.

    Maintain cleanliness of kennels and enclosures through physically demanding tasks such as scrubbing, lifting, bending, and standing for extended periods.

    Support the adoptions process by assisting customers in finding their new furry (or non-furry) friend.

    Obtain Humane Euthanasia Technician certification within 6 months of employment (training and certification provided).

    What We’re Looking For:

    You embrace our core values: Customer Service, Teamwork, Compassion, and Community.

    You are eager to learn and grow within the animal welfare industry.

    Previous animal handling experience is a plus, or experience in a shelter or veterinary setting.

    What you get:

    120 hours of PTO + 6 paid holidays and 3 floating holidays

    All health benefits start the 1st of the month following your hire date.

    403b retirement plan you can start contributing to the 1st of the month following your hire date with a 25% match, up to $1500 per year after a year of employment.

    Discounted pet food.
