Work history
Kennel assistant
Macabees Pet Hotel
Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire
12.2021 - 04.2025
As a kennel assistant, I am responsible for ensuring the comfort and safety of the animals by maintaining a clean, sanitised environment and minimising stress for the dogs.
Additionally, I carry out regular health checks of the dogs to identify any potential issues early on and regular inspections of the kennels to maintain standards.
I also must make meals for the dogs and administer medications as specified by their owners.
I am also responsible for providing one-to-one attention to dogs to foster positive relationships and support distressed dogs.
As well as this, I must supervise introducing dogs to one another and their interactions to prevent any altercations and stay calm when handling reactive or nervous dogs.

During this job, I was responsible for providing excellent service to customers and building rapport with them, creating an inviting atmosphere to increase customer retention.
I was required to maintain knowledge of drink recipes, a clean and organised bar and stock levels in order to provide exceptional service.
I was also responsible for checking identification to ensure customers were of legal drinking age.
Additionally, I would collaborate with the rest of the bar team to help provide a high standard of service during peak hours and clean the bar at the end of the day to ensure a seamless reset for the next day.
Customer service assistant
Midcounties Co-Operative
Thame, Oxfordshire
04.2020 - 08.2020
Whilst in this role, I was responsible for monitoring and replenishing stock levels regularly and keeping shelves organised and neat to maintain standards on the shop floor.
I would assist customers with questions and help them locate items using product and store knowledge.
I had to adapt quickly to changes to the store layout and product ranges to prevent disruption to services, especially since I was in this role during COVID-19.
I was also responsible for working well with the rest of the team to create a positive atmosphere for staff and customers.
