Summary

Ripon is one of England's smallest cities and has no WoofWalk walker yet. We want two or three, and one who can cover the villages and Boroughbridge would be useful.

WoofWalk is a UK app in which dog owners book a walker near them. You are self-employed: you set your own prices, choose your own hours and accept the bookings you want; owners pay through the app, and the money is paid out to you. We do not employ you, there is no wage, and work is not guaranteed.

No Ripon price research yet; nationally, public listings put an hour's walk at roughly £15. Your own price is yours to decide.

The Spa Gardens, Hell Wath nature reserve and the canal towpath are the local grounds, with Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal a couple of miles out.

Nothing to pay to list. 0% commission for the first 14 days, then 15% of each booking, and 10% for life after five clients have joined through you. Your tax, National Insurance and insurance are your own.

A car is near essential here. Over 18.
