Animal Management Officer

An Animal Management Officer works with animals that have been lost, abandoned or mistreated. You’ll usually work for a local council and you may have to find and catch animals that are behaving dangerously or that are not properly restrained. Animal Management Officers also enforce local animal laws and investigate reported breaches. You may have to prepare reports on animal care cases and provide evidence when cases go to court.

Animal Management Officers need good investigative skills and also carry out a range of administrative duties. You’ll need to be good with animals and be skilled in techniques for handling aggressive animals. Animal Management Officers work as part of a larger team so you’ll need to be a good communicator. You may have to work a range of shifts including weekends and public holidays.
