Are you a confident self-starter with experience in handling dogs? Are you confident in dealing with challenging situations in a tactful and empathetic manner?
Dogs Trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK with a nationwide network of rehoming centres and charity shops. Last year, Dogs Trust centres cared for over 14,000 dogs; we never put a healthy dog down.
Dogs Trust Freedom Project is a pet fostering service for people fleeing domestic abuse. However, the majority of our referrals come from women fleeing domestic abuse via women-only services. The service places dogs into volunteer foster homes on a temporary basis until their owners are able to have them back.
We are seeking a confident and well-organised individual who is passionate about helping animals and people. As Freedom Project Regional Assistant, you will support the evaluation and matching of dog referrals received from our stakeholder referral agencies. You will also assess the suitability of volunteer foster carers for the dogs by carrying out home checks and interviews and update clients on their pet’s progress.
You must be experienced and competent in assessing and handling a wide range of dogs in a working environment such as an animal charity or rescue/rehoming centre and have experience in giving dog welfare advice to owners and handlers, with an understanding of positive reinforcement techniques.
A large part of this role involves driving a small van and transporting dogs across Scotland on a daily basis, so candidates should have a full, clean, manual UK driving license and experience of driving as part of a previous role. An understanding of the problems faced by people fleeing domestic abuse with pets is expected as is a motivation to help and support vulnerable pet owners.
This is a full-time permanent post at 35 hours per week, Mon to Fri, 9am to 5pm (candidates will be required to undertake occasional out of hours working to support the needs of the service).

There is a range of services that support their care and well being. The Hospice is much loved and valued within its community.
Having been without a CEO for the past year, the Board and senior management team have now set the vision for the future and are ready for a new CEO to be appointed to deliver all the organisational goals and drive the charity forward. A centrepiece of the strategy is a proposed £12m capital build programme to ensure the Hospice continues to provide the best possible patient experience in the best available facilities. After drawing on reserves that have been designated for this project, the CEO will require to ensure at least a further £6m is secured.
You will need to have extensive senior leadership experience, although not necessarily in a CEO role. Perhaps this is the next logical step up for you. You will, however, need to have experience of managing a complex and diverse, multi-million-pound organisation in a highly regulated environment. You should have deep knowledge of good governance and experience of reporting into a Board of Management. It goes without saying that your business and financial management acumen must be second to none.
