Are you a self-starter who is passionate about animal welfare? Are you an IT professional with experience in leading a programme of work?

Dogs Trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK with a nationwide network of rehoming centres and charity shops. Last year, Dogs Trust centres cared for over 14,000 dogs; we never put a healthy dog down.

The IT department is at the beginning of a multi-year digital transformation programme, consolidating, replacing and implementing new systems to support the charity for the future.

This is the first time the charity has embarked on such a wide scale programme and to support this, there is a need for a talented head of project delivery to lead the projects.

We have over 30 employees working here in software development, product, sales, marketing and finance departments.

About CharityJob

The CharityJob story began at the turn of the millennium, when our founding directors, Raya and Steve (who between them have 40 years’ experience in the charity sector), realised how difficult it was for charities to recruit the best people.

So CharityJob was born with a single mission – offering charities across the UK a specialist job board to help them connect with the very best the sector has to offer.

Today, 20 years on, we’re so much more than just a job board. We’re a team of 34 people: passionate about our sector, and work hard to make a difference. So far, we’ve helped over 20,000 charities and not-for-profits to find their best people.

But we’ve only just started. Our mission is to help even more people to take their first steps into the sector. And we’re working hard to bring the sector together – building a strong community for each and every one of us, through CharityConnect.

True to our original vision of giving back to the sector, we donate 10% of our profits to charities and not-for-profits. And that’s why we’re proud to be the charity sector’s Champion. Better people. Better charities. Better world.
