Chair of Trustees - Bristol Animal Rescue Centre
Voluntary – unremunerated
c6 meetings a year plus AGM and oversight of committees such as RemCo and Finance
Location: Bristol

For over 135 years Bristol Animal Rescue Centre (Bristol A.R.C) has cared for Bristol’s animals; helping, healing and homing those in greatest need at their Rescue Centre in the heart of the city. Their mission is to ensure animals in need in the community receive the compassion, care and respect they deserve.  Through the work of their outreach services, veterinary clinic and rehoming centre they help, heal and find homes for thousands of animals every year, as well as offering hands-on support and welfare advice to the people who love them.

Bristol A.R.C is about to embark on a huge project and after over one hundred years of rescuing and rehoming animals from its site on Albert Road, they are preparing for a monumental change: they are planning to move.

The historic Albert Road site has been home to the stray and unwanted pets of Bristol since 1901, a place where thousands of animals have found the comfort, care, and the second chance they deserve. But as the city grows and construction booms in the St Philip’s Marsh area, their surroundings have changed dramatically. Bristol A.R.C. are now enveloped by building works, heavy traffic, dust, and near-constant noise from the regeneration.

They now need a new Chair who will work with the Board and organisation as they look for a new site and fund raise to enable this to happen. 

As Chair, you will have the chance to influence their strategy and directly support our teams of experts in the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming or release of animals that come into their care.

You will serve on the governing body of the charity and be instrumental, alongside your fellow Trustees, in providing the governance that supports the CEO and senior management team in the successful running of the organisation.

We are particularly interested to hear from candidates with relevant experience in the following areas: Property, Construction, Building works and development projects. 

For further details and to apply, please contact Sandy Hinks or Vanessa Moon quoting reference MC2632

 Closing date midnight, Sunday 26th October 2025

Bristol A.R.C has retained Moon Charity Practice to manage this campaign and are therefore unable to accept CVs from third party agencies. All CVs and expressions of interest received will be forwarded directly to Moon Charity Practice for consideration.

Bristol Animal Rescue Centre is the working name for our two linked charities, the Bristol Dogs and Cats Home and the RSPCA Bristol and District Branch.
