Pet Health Center Manager

Job Description Do you have a passion for helping people in need, as well as animals? Do you dream about becoming part of a team that makes a difference in the lives of pet families in the community? Do you want to work in an environment that is welcoming, friendly, and supportive? If this sounds like you, then Dakin Humane Society wants to know! Dakin’s Pet Health Center is dedicated to providing exceptional non-emergency veterinary care for community pets. We prioritize the well-being of animals and strive to create a positive and compassionate environment for both pets and their owners. As we continue to grow, we are seeking a dynamic and experienced individual to join our team as our new Pet Health Center Manager. As the Pet Health Center Manager, you will play a crucial role in overseeing the non-medical day-to-day operations. You will be responsible for managing a team of dedicated professionals, ensuring the highest standards of care. We meet clients where they are and through incremental care, multiple payment options, and staging care, you’ll help clients help their pets. This role requires a strong leader with excellent organizational and communication skills, a passion for animal health and community outreach, and a commitment to delivering exceptional customer service. As Dakin is a non-profit organization, your budget goal will be to cover expenses, not to generate a profit. Any “profit” generated helps us fund care for more animals and people in need.

You’ll work as a team with the Pet Health Center staff to help the department excel.

You’ll have support from facilities, finance, HR, IT, and marketing/development - you don’t have to do it all yourself! We’re serious about work/life balance. You won’t be expected to stay late or come in extra time. You won’t be getting calls or texts when you’re off. We have excellent PTO, and we expect our staff to use it! The schedule is full-time, 10-hour shifts, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Three-day weekends, here you come! Pay range: Salary $60,000 to $65,000.
