We’re looking for a motivated and relationship-driven Project Coordinator (Growth & Engagement) based across Greater Manchester to help us build and sustain impactful partnerships that will grow the reach and visibility of our Dog Champion Scheme.
At Street Paws, we believe that no one should be forced to choose between a safe place to stay and the pet they love. For people experiencing homelessness, a pet can be a vital lifeline — providing emotional support, a sense of safety, and unconditional companionship in the most difficult circumstances.
Sadly, most accommodation services do not allow pets, leaving people with an impossible decision: stay with their pet and remain homeless, or enter housing alone. At Street Paws, we work to remove that barrier through compassionate, practical action.
We support homeless pet owners by:
-
Providing free veterinary care and preventative treatment
-
Offering essentials like leads, coats, food, and bedding
-
Training hostels to become pet-friendly through our Dog Champion Scheme
-
Advocating for inclusive housing and service access
Since launching our Dog Champion Scheme, we’ve trained hundreds of hostel staff, supported dozens of services to welcome pets, and helped keep hundreds of people and animals safely together.
About the Role
This role is perfect for someone who is passionate about social justice, inclusion, and the human–animal bond — and who is confident in building connections with frontline organisations, community services, and supporters.
As Project Coordinator (Growth & Engagement), you’ll focus on building relationships with new hostels, expanding awareness of our work, and promoting our training programme and online learning platform. You'll also work with existing partners to make sure they feel supported and are continuing to deliver on their commitments to pet-friendly care.
Key Responsibilities
-
Promote and grow the Dog Champion Scheme by identifying and engaging new partner hostels
-
Build and maintain strong relationships with hostel staff, local authorities, housing providers, and referral networks
-
Introduce and guide partners through the onboarding and training process
-
Deliver clear, engaging communication about the benefits and expectations of becoming a pet-friendly service
-
Support the delivery and monitoring of online training through our learning platform
-
Collect feedback and stories from the hostels we work with to showcase impact and promote the scheme
-
Represent Street Paws at local events, forums, and outreach opportunities across the North of England
-
Work closely with the wider team to align delivery with Street Paws’ core values and strategic goals
-
Support other areas of our work where needed, including volunteer engagement and public awareness campaigns
About You
We’re looking for someone who is:
-
A great communicator – confident talking to frontline services, potential partners, and wider community networks
-
Skilled at building trust and relationships with people from all backgrounds
-
Organised and proactive – able to manage your own workload, travel when needed, and meet project goals
-
Creative and people-focused, with an eye for spotting opportunities to grow and share our impact
-
Committed to inclusion and compassionate support – you’ll be representing a charity that’s non-judgemental, trauma-informed, and rooted in dignity for all
Experience working in the charity, housing, or community sector is a plus, but not essential. What matters most is that you believe in our mission and want to be part of positive, person-centred change.
What We Offer
-
A flexible, remote-working role with the opportunity to travel and meet partners across the region
-
A supportive, values-led team environment
-
Opportunities to grow with us, shape the role, and influence how we engage new partners
-
The chance to make a tangible difference for people and pets who are often excluded from services
Applications close Friday 29th August. Interviews will be held week commencing 8th September 2025
Please indicate which role you wish to be considered for in your cover letter; Growth and Engagement or Operations and Development.
