Reporting to: Head of Campaigns
Hours: Approx. 3-5 hours per week (flexible)
Time period: Approx 4 months (July - October 2025) with the opportunity to continue beyond this if interested.
ABOUT US
We’re IAPWA (International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals) - a UK-registered animal welfare charity dedicated to creating a better future for animals in need.
Our charity is small but mighty! Since our inception in 2009 we have helped over 50,000 animals through our projects and support programmes across the globe. From managing humane dog and cat population projects to reduce the number of puppies and kittens born to suffer on the streets, to providing aid to companion animals, working donkeys, and endangered wildlife - our work is vast. And we're not slowing down any time soon.
As a small charity we can’t do what we do without the support of volunteers and fundraisers. That’s where you come in.
THE ROLE
Walk for Paws is an exciting fundraising initiative that empowers supporters to organise sponsored dog walks to raise vital funds for dogs and cats in need. This summer, we’re scaling it up to support our huge upcoming animal welfare project. We urgently need to raise money to help dogs and cats living in terrible conditions in an animal centre in Borneo - but we need your help to make it a success.
We’re looking for a passionate and proactive Volunteer Walk for Paws Co-ordinator to help grow this campaign over a 4-month period. You’ll play a key role in growing, inspiring and supporting our community of Pack Leaders - the people who run Walk for Paws events in their local area.
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience in community fundraising and supporter engagement, while directly contributing to improving the lives of animals in need.
The Volunteer Walk for Paws Co-ordinator will:
-
Help grow our Walk for Paws programme by identifying and reaching out to potential supporters, such as dog walking groups, community organisations, and local businesses
-
Onboard new Pack Leaders, supporting them to set up and promote their Walk for Paws fundraising events

-
Be an ambassador for IAPWA and the Walk for Paws initiative, helping raise awareness and support for our cause
The ideal person will be:

A friendly, enthusiastic communicator who enjoys engaging with people and building relationships
-
A self-starter who is happy working independently and bringing their own ideas to the table
-
Organised and reliable, with good attention to detail and follow-up
-
Passionate about animal welfare and making a difference
-
Experience in fundraising, supporter care, or community outreach (even in a voluntary or informal setting) is helpful but not essential
What you’ll gain:
-
A chance to be part of a meaningful campaign supporting animals in need
-
Experience in charity fundraising, community engagement and volunteer management
-
Flexible hours and remote working
-
A reference from IAPWA and the potential to continue volunteering with us beyond the initial four-month term if desired
-
The satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped raise life-changing funds for vulnerable animals
