    Description

    Are you a process improvement professional who is passionate about animal welfare?
    Dogs Trust is on a mission to become more efficient and effective in the way that we do things, and we need a Process Improvement Specialist to enable us to do more, with less, while still delivering the same great impact.

    About this role:
    As Process Improvement Specialist, you will:

    • work closely with colleagues across the organisation to identify and implement process efficiency and automation opportunities, from start to finish,
    • develop and maintain process documentation, such as procedures, process maps and guides,
    • regularly analyse data to understand the effectiveness of processes across the organisation, paying close attention to detail at all times,
    • complete process mapping and reviews in order to maximise efficiency, coming up with solutions to complex problems swiftly.

    About you:
    To be successful in this role you should be truly process driven, with experience of implementing new processes and streamlining existing ones, with a knack for understanding a problem, analysing, and then fixing it. You'll need to be a people person, as you'll be business partnering colleagues and 'meeting them where they are', as they map out their processes and identify areas for improvement. You'll need to be very detail orientated, and it would be beneficial if you have some Six Sigma certification to support your experience in process improvement. Additionally, you'll need a commitment to the aims and objectives of Dogs Trust.

    About Dogs Trust:
    We love dogs. That's why we do whatever we can to make sure every four-legged friend gets the love they deserve. We'll never put a healthy dog down, so our work is focused on helping dogs in need, supporting owners every step of the walk, and creating a better world for dogs in the future. It's what we've been doing since 1891 and how we've grown to become the UK's leading dog charity, helping 12,000 loyal friends find their forever homes every year.

    About this team:
    Under the leadership of the Chief Operating Officer, the Finance, IT, Governance and Risk, Efficiency and Sustainability, Facilities and Legal teams provide professional business advice and central support to Dogs Trust. These traditionally 'back-office' teams work closely with the rest of Dogs Trust to enable them to work more efficiently and effectively to deliver our mission. Current turnover is in excess of £110m and is still growing and staffing levels are approaching 1,500 FTE. The Efficiency and Sustainability function is being introduced as a new department in a response to the growing need to work in a more cost effective, sustainable and strategically commercial way.

    This role is being offered as a fixed term contract for 12 months.
