About you
We are looking for a confident manager with experience leading diverse teams, delivering against targets and managing a varied operational workload.

You will also need a UK manual driving licence and be comfortable driving our van. Experience in a kennel or animal welfare environment would be advantageous, but above all you will share Beagle Welfare’s commitment to improving the lives of beagles and supporting the people who care for them.
Working pattern and location
This role is based at the Rehoming Centre and offers employment that includes employer provided accommodation (3-bedroom cottage) as part of the compensation package.

Why join Beagle Welfare?
You will join an organisation driven by purpose, teamwork and a shared commitment to dog welfare. This is a hands-on leadership role where your decisions, energy and care will directly support better outcomes for beagles, adopters, volunteers and colleagues.
