We are currently recruiting for a Senior Cat Guardians Marketing Officer to join our Legacies & In Memory team. You will join us working 35 hours per week and in return you will receive a competitive salary of up to £37,165.28 per annum plus excellent benefits.

Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity with a nationwide network of adoption and homing centres, volunteer-run branches, and charity shops. During 2020, despite all the challenges, we helped 126,000 cats and kittens. That's the equivalent of around 345 cats a day!

What we’re looking for in our Senior Cat Guardians Marketing Officer:

• Significant experience in a legacy fundraising and/or direct marketing role
• Considerable experience of commissioning and managing external agencies and consultants
• Comfortable reporting and presenting to colleagues, senior management, and external agencies
