Volunteer Animal Fosterer (RSPCA North West London and South Hertfordshire Branch)
As an animal fosterer, you would be supporting our Branch in providing either our cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, or other small furries with the safety of your home whilst tending to their welfare needs such as feeding and grooming. In addition to this, by providing a temporary loving environment, you will play a crucial role in their wellbeing and socialisation, which will significantly improve their chances of successful rehoming.
Once everything is in place, the animal centre will guide you through the fostering process and ensure that you have all the necessary equipment, food, and veterinary care for your foster. The RSPCA is also happy to reimburse any other pre-agreed expenses that you may incur through volunteering for us.
Whilst our animals are in your foster care, you will:
- Provide them with care, suitable housing, and a safe environment as per our policies and guidelines.
- Feed, water, and groom them in line with our advice.
- Transport them to any veterinary appointments if required.
- Provide them with your time and patience.
- Help us spread the word about the animals in your care so they might find their forever home quicker.
- Playing and cuddles are also a must!
What we are looking for in a volunteer Fosterer
- Volunteers aged 18 or over who have had plenty of experience caring for animals.
- Fostering experience is beneficial but not essential as training is provided.
- For their wellbeing, the whole family should be on board with fostering an animal.
- Any existing pets or animals need to have been spayed/neutered (some medical reasons may mean they cannot be so, please let us know if this is the case).
- You will need to live in our branches area (see attached map)
- You will need to be able to pick up supplies from our office in Eastcote and transport animals to the vets for routine and emergency appointments.
What we can offer you as a volunteer Fosterer
- You will be making a massive difference to the welfare of the animals in your care.
- Join a community which will enable you to meet new people and make new friends.
- Learning new skills through our comprehensive induction and fostering training programme.
- Enhance your CV by adding your volunteering experience and newly acquired skills.
It is worth mentioning that our animals do have different needs as whilst some are ready for rehoming others may require rehabilitation or ongoing medication. Therefore, we also aim to understand your situation and circumstances to ensure that we match you with your perfect foster animal.
We hope you are interested in volunteering for our Branch.
Our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and trial period. We will ask you to provide contact details for two referees, and, depending on the position, you may need to sign an agreement and complete specific training before starting the role.

Job Purpose:
To actively identify, locate, and surface potential real-world stories, individuals, and lived experiences that align with the organisation’s mission, ensuring a continuous pipeline of high-quality, relevant story leads for the Story Intelligence Team.
This role exists to function as the organisation’s primary “frontline discovery engine,” scanning a wide range of public sources—including media platforms, social networks, interviews, documentaries, podcasts, books, advocacy spaces, and community forums—to uncover individuals who have either publicly shared their experiences or are visibly positioned within ongoing social, cultural, or institutional narratives.
The Research Story Scout is responsible for recognising not just individual stories, but also broader story ecosystems, including repeated patterns of lived experience, underrepresented voices, emerging testimonies, and whistleblower disclosures that may not yet have been formally documented or widely circulated.
A key purpose of this role is to convert scattered public information into structured, actionable story leads that can be passed efficiently to the Outreach Team for ethical and appropriate engagement.
The role also ensures that potential stories are identified early, before they become widely saturated or lost in mainstream attention cycles, enabling the organisation to engage responsibly, respectfully, and at the right stage of the individual’s willingness to share.
Ultimately, this role ensures the organisation maintains a consistent flow of credible, relevant, and timely story opportunities by continuously scanning the public landscape and translating discovery into structured, usable intelligence for outreach and engagement.

Story Scouts spend their time locating individuals who have publicly shared their experiences or indicated a willingness to discuss their story.

REPORTING TO: Social media Director
About us:
Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C is a pioneering Podcast/YouTube Channel and healing membership organisation. We provide a platform for survivors and whistleblowers to share their lived experiences, highlight systemic frustrations and offer solutions rooted in culturally trauma-informed care.
Our membership offers young people and survivors a path to heal, learn digital skills and interactively participate in our Alchemic 369 Book Club, where members engage in weekly interactive discussions, debates and critical analysis of African, Caribbean and world history, Ifa, classics and political thought. Members will sharpen their reading, reasoning and imagination skills, with opportunities to discuss works directly with authors, highly subsidised plant-based transformative retreats and join a community designed to empower and educate.
We are a mission-driven, collective-focused C.I.C building a movement that combines healing, re-education and empowerment.
Our content focuses on:
-
Survivors of CSA, RSA, CT, CA stories
-
Whistleblowers and retired experts
-
Generational trauma and healing
-
Youth empowerment and education
-
Community transformation through honest storytelling
Our mission is to challenge generational cycles, expose hidden truths, fight for justice and create a platform rooted in authenticity, deep healing, and transformation.
Job Purpose:
To identify, locate, and verify legitimate, available contact pathways for individuals identified by the Story Intelligence Team, enabling the Outreach Team to make timely, appropriate, and ethical first contact.
This role exists to bridge the gap between “story identification” and “human connection” by ensuring that every potential guest or storyteller can be reached through accurate, professional, and consent-respecting communication channels.
The specialist is responsible for systematically mapping how identified individuals present themselves publicly—across media appearances, social platforms, organisational affiliations, speaking engagements, publications, and advocacy work—in order to determine the safest and most appropriate route for initial outreach.
A key function of this role is to ensure that contact is made through official, transparent, and non-intrusive channels wherever possible (such as public emails, organisational contacts, management representatives, charity partnerships, or verified professional platforms), rather than informal or private intrusion methods.
This role also supports the integrity of the outreach process by ensuring that all contact data is accurate, up to date, and ethically sourced, reducing the risk of miscommunication, safeguarding concerns, or inappropriate engagement.
About the role:
This role focuses on finding:
Public email addresses.
Websites.
Booking agents.
Management contacts.
Charity contacts.
Speaking agencies.
Professional profiles.
Official communication channels.

Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
Help a not-for-profit reach more people who need affordable counselling. Run the outreach and listings that connect struggling adults to qualified, low-cost support.
What you will do.
Referral partnerships (the main task). Each week, email a small batch of relevant organisations (charities, social prescribers, advice services, housing providers, universities) to introduce Flourish as a referral option, using our ready-made templates and contact list. Follow up once and track responses. This is friendly relationship-building, not hard selling.
Directory listings. Create and keep Flourish's profiles up to date on counselling and wellbeing directories, using our master profile copy so everything stays consistent.
Reviews. Run our gentle, ethical review-request process and keep a simple record.
Drafting for the founder to approve. Draft short responses to journalist requests and occasional LinkedIn posts in the founder's voice, ready for her quick sign-off. We provide an expert toolkit, including bios and key messages, to make this easy.
Light reporting. Keep a simple tracker of activity and enquiries so we can see what is working.
You will not be asked to provide counselling, give clinical advice, or speak publicly as an expert yourself; the founder remains the named voice.
Who we are looking for.
Organised and reliable, comfortable working through a list methodically.
Confident, warm written English; able to write a friendly, professional email.
Comfortable with spreadsheets, web forms and email; quick to learn simple online tools.
Self-motivated and able to work independently and remotely.
In sympathy with our mission of accessible mental health support.
No counselling or marketing qualification is needed. Experience in admin, communications, community work, fundraising or customer service is welcome but not essential.
What you will gain.
Real, visible social impact: your work connects people to affordable support.
Practical experience in outreach, partnerships, digital marketing and communications.
Flexible, fully remote hours that fit around your life.
A reference and demonstrable results for your CV or portfolio.
Being part of a friendly, values-led not-for-profit.
Time commitment and format.
Around half a day to one day a week, flexible, at times that suit you.
Fully remote, anywhere in the UK.
Voluntary role (unpaid). We will cover any agreed expenses.
We ask for a minimum commitment of around three months so relationships can build.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
