About Battersea: Battersea is here for every dog and cat and has been since 1860. We are a leading animal welfare charity and over the last 150 years we've grown from one home in London to three rescuing and rehoming centres across the South East. With 500 staff and 1000 volunteers, we have cared for over three million vulnerable animals. We also campaign tirelessly to make things better for dogs and cats; sharing our expertise and educating the public and policymakers about responsible pet ownership.

Join us and make a difference for every dog and cat. If you'd love to join this brand new team, get in touch with Holly from Flow Caritas by applying for this role and she will call you back.
