  • Uphold health and safety, animal welfare, and data protection standards.
  • Support fundraising, public engagement, and community relations.

You’ll be an empathetic, organised, and proactive leader who’s passionate about animal welfare and supporting people to do their best work.

We’re looking for someone with:

  • Experience in animal welfare, shelter management, or a related supervisory role
  • Strong people management and communication skills
  • Excellent organisation, decision-making, and IT abilities
  • Calmness and confidence under pressure
  • A full UK driving licence

Desirable: Animal Care qualification (e.g. NVQ Level 3), experience in animal behaviour or veterinary work, or leadership training.

What We Offer

  • On-site accommodation
  • 29 days annual leave (including bank holidays and your birthday off), increasing with service
  • 5% employer pension contribution (NEST scheme)
  • Occupational sick pay
  • Health Assured wellbeing support
  • Training and development opportunities
  • Use of company vehicle for Shelter business
  • A supportive, passionate team making a real difference every day
