Introduction:
Who we are
The sport generates $844.8 million in economic activity, about $3 billion in wagering, returns $70 million in prizemoney, and directly involves over 18,000 people.
Our vision for Victorian greyhound racing is "a vibrant and inclusive sport underpinned by world leading animal welfare and integrity". GRV's strategic priorities include world leading integrity and welfare, growing the audience and fan base, proactively sharing our stories and investing for now and the future.
Description:
If you’re passionate about dogs and excited to work closely with greyhounds, this casual, hands-on role could be the perfect fit for you!
You’ll play a vital role in ensuring the daily wellbeing of our greyhounds — including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning kennels, exercising, and delivering enrichment through structured play, basic training, and positive behavioural reinforcement.
In return, our affectionate greyhounds will reward you with plenty of cuddles and kisses every day!
Fun fact: Greyhounds may look lean, but they can weigh up to 40kg — so you’ll need to be physically fit and confident handling large breeds. Don’t worry, we’ll provide full training in safe and effective handling techniques.
Our team works every day from 7:30am to 4pm, with weekday and weekend rosters available. We kindly ask that you outline your availability in your cover letter.
Due to the nature of our work, our successful candidate will need to hold a valid driver licence.
Skills and Experiences:
Let's talk benefits!
When you join our team, you become part of something bigger. We’ll provide you with interesting and rewarding work, helping greyhounds to find their forever home, with ongoing professional development, alongside work-life balance to seal the deal.
We support our people with access to free and fun events such as Midsumma Pride March, free onsite parking, free corporate uniform, and animal friendly workplaces.
