Kayleigh Hydes

I am a friendly, organised and compassionate person, with over two years working within an animal rescue environment, alongside my current role as an administrator in a busy primary school office. I have developed strong communication skills, and I am confident managing appointments, maintaining records and providing a welcoming first point of contact to visitors. My passion for animal welfare, combined with my administrative experience, allows me to support both clients and colleagues effectively.

I am hard working, reliable, and always willing to get stuck in to help any animal in need in and a job in this field, is something I have always wanted to do.
