We currently have an opportunity for a personal assistant (PA) or administrator to join our Global Programmes team and provide comprehensive and proactive support to the Director of Global Programmes.

You will be responsible for providing a range of administrative support to the Heads of Academy and Grants & Programmes and provide general support and co-ordination across the wider Global Programmes team.
Our Global Programmes Department
The Global Programmes Department advances Battersea’s ambitious plans to play a global role in achieving a positive impact on thousands of dogs and cats. This Department comprises two teams: Academy, which supports the professional development of staff and volunteers in rescues and rehoming organisations and Grants & Programmes, which provides strategic funding and support to organisations and researchers within the animal welfare sector. Through their collective efforts, both teams seek to advance change, by empowering local partners, so that more cats and dogs have a better future. Distinct in their functions, the teams work closely together on developing and delivering programmes with partners in the UK and focus countries around the world.
About us
At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help. We give each one lots of love and expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that’s just right for them.
All the knowledge we gather in our centres helps us to improve the lives of the animals we’ll never meet, through our work with other rescue organisations and charities. We also help people make informed choices when getting a pet, we provide training and welfare advice, and we campaign for changes in the law when we see that dogs and cats or their owners deserve better.
Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.
What we can offer you
We offer our employees a wide range of benefits to reward them for the value that they bring to Battersea, to support them in their work, to help improve their health and wellbeing, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. These include:

Hybrid working policy
We operate a hybrid working model, with our office-based staff splitting their time between site based and home working. We believe this enables our office-based staff to maintain the benefits of home working, while allowing for collaboration and interaction with our animal-facing staff and maintaining a connection to our cause. As such, you’ll be expected to work in our Battersea office for at least 50% of your working week.
Diversity & Inclusion at Battersea
At Battersea, we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse workforce and inclusive culture in all aspects of our organisation. We aim to ensure that this pledge, reinforced by our values, is embedded in our day-to-day working practices and our work together.
