Battersea Dogs & Cats Home Jobs

Battersea Operations is currently in the middle of an exciting transformation programme, and we are now at the delivery stage. We will be undergoing significant change over the next two years by transforming our intake and rehoming processes and improving our customer experience to help more cats and dogs. To be successful, we need to help frontline teams transition to new ways of working and take on a new CRM system, with minimal disruption to the day-to-day job.

Within this role, you will co-ordinate and embed the implementation of change projects and processes required to successfully deliver our operational change programme. The role is pivotal to ensure we manage this change effectively within our cat and dog frontline teams (over 300 people). We are therefore looking for someone with proven experience implementing change and collaborating with a range of stakeholders.

What we can offer you:

In return for your commitment to our cause and to recognise the value of our employees, Battersea offers a range of benefits to support the wellbeing of our employees. These include:

• 28 days of annual leave (plus 8 days paid public holidays) per year
• Discounted gym memberships and cycle to work schemes
• Employee Assistance Programme and access to Wellbeing Resources.
• Generous pension contributions – up to 10% employer contribution
• Free healthcare cash plan, where you can claim for a range of treatment including dental, optical, physiotherapy, chiropody and acupuncture every year.
• Annual interest-free season ticket loans

We are also committed to providing learning and development to our employees. During your time with us, we provide support for your professional and career development, including access to digital and in-person training programmes, leadership and management training, mentoring and much more.

Balancing collaboration with home working:

We operate a 50% onsite hybrid working model, with our office-based staff splitting their time between site based and home working. This enables our office-based staff to balance the benefits of home working, while allowing for collaboration and maintaining a connection to our cause that comes from being on site. In addition to this, our offices are in a great location within London, have modern facilities, offer great colleague socialising spaces and a discounted café.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

At Battersea, we are committed to providing equal opportunities and developing a diverse workforce and inclusive culture in all aspects of our organisation. We aim to ensure that this pledge, reinforced by our values, is embedded in our day-to-day working practices and our work together.

By hearing from and valuing different experiences, perspectives and contributions, we know we can provide the best expert care for every dog and cat who needs us. We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and from members of minority ethnic communities, who we know are currently under-represented at Battersea.

As a Disability Confident Committed employer, we're happy to discuss any support or personalisation you may need during your application and/or interview process as part of our workplace adjustments.
