We’re recruiting a proactive and highly organised Project Coordinator to lead the operational development of our Dog Champion Scheme and ensure its consistent, high-quality delivery across the North of England.

At Street Paws, we believe that no one should have to choose between a safe place to sleep and the pet they love. For people experiencing homelessness, a pet is often their only source of emotional support, companionship, and stability.

Through ourDog Champion Scheme, we help hostels across the North of England, Belfast and Wales become pet-friendly by providing specialist training, resources, and practical support. This work ensures that more people can access accommodation with their pets, improving mental wellbeing, promoting housing stability, and reducing unnecessary separation and trauma.

About the Role

This role is essential to the expansion of our work. You’ll be responsible for developing and improving our training and onboarding offer, coordinating hostel partnerships, and working with local veterinary practices to arrange treatment when needed.

• Liaise with veterinary partners to arrange timely treatment for pets, ensuring continuity of care and strong local relationships

• Identify and respond to areas for improvement across training and delivery, using data and feedback

• Comfortable using systems to manage information, track progress, and support decision-making

• Adaptable, self-motivated, and able to work both independently and as part of a small team

• Committed to inclusion, dignity, and non-judgemental support for all people

• A flexible, remote working role with meaningful social impact

• The chance to shape and grow a well-respected training and outreach programme

• A supportive and inclusive team environment
