We are recruiting for an experienced Team Leader who is passionate about supporting pets and their owners.

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 15,000 dogs; we never put a healthy dog down.

Outreach Projects runs several projects supporting pet owners who are homeless or in housing crisis in the UK, this includes the Freedom Project, a pet fostering service for people fleeing domestic abuse.

However, most 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 be reunited with them.

The Freedom Project runs in Greater London & the Home Counties, Yorkshire, the North East, the North West, East Anglia, Scotland, Wales and Hampshire.

The Team Leader will be responsible for the day to day running of the Freedom Project, a pet fostering service for people fleeing domestic abuse.

The Team Leader oversees the day to day running of the service, including all dog referrals and placements, as well as recruiting and supporting a pool of volunteer foster carers.

There is also an amount of stakeholder liaison with other agencies, including referral agencies, animal welfare/fostering organisations and vets.

Due to the nature of this role, this post is for women only and is exempt under Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010

Please note - a basic Disclosure & Barring Service Check (DBS) will be required for this role.
