During the Coronavirus restrictions, our animal-facing staff continued to work on site and our office based staff worked from home.

We are currently operating a hybrid working model with our office-based staff splitting their time between site based and home working.

We believe this will support 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. So, if you are passionate about dogs, cats and about our work, then we'd like to hear from you.
