A small and friendly team, dog walking is a frequent feature of our lunch break, away from the hustle and bustle of suburbia but within close proximity to the city. However, there is the option to work remotely, depending on experience.
While ideally this would be a full-time position, we will consider part-time for the right candidate. With a competitive salary of up to £40k depending on experience, this is a superb opportunity to forge your own role in a rapidly growing business.
