    Default job background
    Description

    How to Apply:
    Via our careers website, linked below
    Battersea is here for every dog and cat, and has been since 1860.

    Over our three sites, we have over 600 volunteers supporting our organisation in a variety of ways, such as our ever-popular animal welfare roles in the catteries and kennels, office duties in all areas of the organisation and they also represent us at public events.

    The Volunteering Team is responsible for the recruitment, training, and ongoing support of volunteers at Battersea, and further promoting our inclusive environment and ensuring that our volunteers are involved in all aspects of our work, are valued for their commitment, and recognised for the extraordinary things they do for us.

    We are seeking a Volunteer Services Manager to provide leadership, guidance and development to this Volunteering Team and act as an ambassador for volunteering across all Battersea centres and externally.

    They will have overall responsibility for recruitment and development of volunteers, policies and processes relating to volunteer involvement, and lead in increasing the standard of the volunteering experience across the organisation and creating new opportunities, in all areas of our work.

    We offer our employees a wide range of benefits to reward them for the value that they bring to Battersea, to support them in their work, to help improve their health and wellbeing, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

    28 days of annual leave (plus 8 days paid public holidays) per year


    • Generous pension contributions – up to 10% employer contribution
    • Free healthcare cash plan, where you can claim for a range of treatment including dental, optical, physiotherapy, chiropody and acupuncture every year
    • Annual interest-free season ticket loans
    • Discounted gym memberships and cycle to work schemes
    • Life insurance
    • Support for your professional and career development, including access to digital and in-person training programmes, a wide range of tools and resources, leadership and management training, mentoring and much more.

    We operate a hybrid working model, with our office-based staff splitting their time between site based and home working.

    We believe this enables our office-based staff to maintain the benefits of home working, while allowing for collaboration and interaction with our animal-facing staff and maintaining a connection to our cause.

    As such, you'll be expected to work in our Battersea office for at least 50% of your working week.

    Equality, diversity and inclusion:

    By hearing from and valuing different experiences, perspectives and contributions, we know we can provide the best expert care for every dog and cat who needs us.

    We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and from members of minority ethnic communities, who we know are currently under-represented at Battersea.

    As a Disability Confident Committed employer, we're happy to discuss any support or personalisation you may need during your application and/or interview process as part of our workplace adjustments.

    At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help.

    We give each one lots of love and expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that's just right for them.

    All the knowledge we gather in our centres helps us to improve the lives of the animals we'll never meet, through our work with other rescue organisations and charities.

    We also help people make informed choices when getting a pet, we provide training and welfare advice, and we campaign for changes in the law when we see that dogs and cats or their owners deserve better.

    Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.

    If you think you're a good fit for the role, and you're passionate about dogs, cats and our work, then we'd like to hear from you.
