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
