ANIMAL WELFARE CO-ORDINATOR
RSPCA Middlesborough, Teesside & District Branch
Are you passionate about helping animals in your community? Would you like to do something meaningful with your free time? The RSPCA needs people like you so that we can improve animal welfare in Middlesbrough and Teesside.
We are looking for volunteers to run our animal welfare programs. These may include offering discounted Neutering, managing colonies of feral cats, or guiding people on how to adopt a dog. You will have direct contact with the public, work closely with local vets and liaise with the RSPCA Inspectors. You will be dealing with all the enquiries we receive via email and deciding how we should respond. In some cases it will be walking the person through the steps of our current programs, in other cases it will be working out how to respond to an unusual request - no two days will be the same.
This is a co-ordinating role which can be done remotely with a computer and a phone. If you live locally, you may also want to meet vets or other partners face to face to better understand their operations and build partnerships. You will be the beating heart of our contribution to animal welfare in your community. You won’t be on your own. You’ll be joining a team of motivated people who use their skills and love of animals to do something meaningful and have fun at the same time.
WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?
You’ll monitor our public email account and respond to all enquiries. You will co-ordinate with the public and local vets to execute our current animal welfare programs such as neutering and microchipping. This involves checking to see if an applicant meets the program criteria, finding a local vet who can help, and arranging vouchers to pay for the services. When enquiries are beyond the scope of our current programs you will guide people on where to go for help, or ask RSPCA Inspectors for their guidance (training will be provided) and keep records of the enquiries and your response. This role can be done remotely and is completely flexible based on how much time you have and when you are available.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Training will be provided. We are seeking someone who is organised, diligent, detailed, good with people and gets things done. You will be passionate about animal welfare and ready to make a difference. Diversity is our strength. We support every type of animal and we seek every type of person who wants to work with like minded people to improve animal welfare. We are a team, we support each other and learn from each other, and we want to work with you. We want your skills and motivation and your ability to get things done. Together we can make a real difference.
WHAT DIFFERENCE WILL YOU MAKE?
Animal Welfare programs are at the heart of everything we do, so you will be part of the most important work in the Branch and directly see the positive impact we make.
There are lots of benefits to becoming an RSPCA Middlesbrough, Teesside & District Branch Volunteer, these include:
- Using your skills to do something useful.
- Passing on your skills and learning new ones.
- Gaining real leadership experience.
- Creating real opportunities to improve animal welfare in your community.
- Access to RSPCA Learning Hub with a wide range of training materials
- Lead not follow - shape our future direction and make your mark
Our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and trial period. We will ask you to provide contact details for two referees, and dependent on the position, you may need to sign an agreement and undergo specific training before starting the role.
We hope to hear from you and we can’t wait for you to join the team.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
